[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1057865, member: 82144"] Hello again :) This assumes that you're not running any third party firewalls. The installer does attempt to create the required firewall rules for the Windows Firewall automatically... but it is possible W8.1 has changed things up a little and the exceptions weren't correctly applied. Great. :) If it is port 31456 then it is legitimate. MediaPortal communicates with TV Server on port 31456. MediaPortal and TV Server communicate using .NET remoting. This is the same whether they're running on the same PC or different PCs. Consistency makes the code simpler. So, as above: this is legitimate and normal for MediaPortal on a single-seat install. It will need access to the internet to download your guide data... but it downloads the data in the background, not when you go to view the program guide. So to be clear, the firewall alert is not triggered by the SchedulesDirect plugin. mm [/QUOTE]
