providing log files with more information on what you are doing within MP will get a better response. I get a response of about 10-15 seconds for the TV server setup screen.

its not crashing, it seems i can only create alog if it crashes and its not crashed yet,

Aslo i have no epg for channels, and what does timeshifting mean?

Log files are always created, but that program i think you are talking about can be manually run from the mediaportal folder if you like (to collect the log files) otherwise the logs are in you MP client folder and the server files are in documents and settings\all users, both in some sub folder of those places (I don't remember exactly). there is a view logs button in the server setup.

Time-shifting is where you can pause live TV and therefor be recording and playing the same movie/program at the same time. Mediaportal (and as far as I know all time-shift capable software) will do this all th time (you are just delayed by 0 seconds until you pause it and then the time period is longer)
