[QUOTE="ChairmanMao, post: 1057864, member: 145847"] This is regarding MP1.6 running on Win8.1 64 bit, single seat. I did a standard installation, so I presume the requisite firewall changes were made. I am able to connect to, and preview channels from, an HDHomeRun Prime. I was also able to set up ScheduleDirect as a program guide. I believe I've followed all the instructions in the setup wiki. However, when I launch MediaPortal and try to access the program guide I'm told that the connection with the TVService was lost, and that a firewall port (something north of 30000, as I recall) needs to be opened. I've verified that the TVService is running. I suppose I could just open the specified port...but it seems weird to open a firewall port so that two programs on the same machine can talk to each other. So I wonder if something else is going on. Does the ScheduleDirect plug in need a port opened? [/QUOTE]
