    Hello and welcome :)

    Please can you be more specific about what you need help with.
    It looks like you've scanned in all your channels successfully. You should be able to open MediaPortal and view them... so I'm not sure exactly what you're struggling with.

    This is what it looks like when i go to my epg http://i.minus.com/ibs1DhLYeOzn7e.png
    That is normal.
    When using a CableCARD, ATSC or clear QAM tuner, you need to provide TV Server with guide data. This is because the guide data is not available from the broadcast stream (technically data is available for some ATSC streams, but TV Server is unable to grab it). If you're used to Windows Media Center: Microsoft pays for the WMC guide data. We don't have the funds to do that. You need to source guide data for yourself.

    MediaPortal Wiki

    Options:
    1. mc2xml + XMLTV plugin
    2. WebGrab+ + XMLTV plugin (note the section on customising for your location: "If you are in North, Central or South America...).
    3. IMDB + WebEPG plugin.
    4. SchedulesDirect plugin.

    Actually I solved this myself. I did have the correct driver (it was the only one which would work). But on the drivers download page, there was an additional item called "TBS6281se V2 Change Mode Tool". There was zero documentation to accompany this. I downloaded it and ran it. It is a tool to detect the current run state of both...

    Is this solved? I've had the same, or maybe just similar, issue for a while now, and I've narrowed it down to Onlinevideos getting MediaPortal stuck on the plugin loading stage of startup. Installing the former stable version now, and MediaPortal seems to start without issues. This usually happens when I start windows and...

    I'm not sure what the issue was, but I decided to try a different way of solving the problem. My server has a 2.5Gbps port and the 10Gbps card I added, so I've connected the HD Homerun directly to the 2.5G port, and its solved the problem, I can now copy large multiple files to the server and not suffer with picture issues. There is...

    It's getting weirder..... If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........
