    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.

I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...

    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...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph
