[QUOTE="deamon_knight, post: 1127011, member: 150503"] I'm working on trying out media portal. I put together a test system with the following hardware: System Specs: Win 7 MediaPortal 1.10.0 Pentium E5200 3GB RAM 250GB HDD Nvidia GeForce 210 HVR-2250, HVR-1600, HVR-1800 EPG: Schedules Direct & Xmltv I have Time Warner cable, so I have my cable input connected to the 2250, the 1800 and the analog input of the 1600. I have a broadcast ATSC antenna connected to the digital input of the 1600. I created 3 channel groups: Analog cable, Digital Cable, and Digital Broadcast. This meant that I had 3 entries (analog, digital cable and broadcast) from some national channels, ABC/NBC/CBS etc, but otherwise everything was working pretty well. When trying to schedule recordings by series, I found media portal isn't well suited to this configuration, I had a hard time indicating which of the 3 duplicate channels I wanted to record on. I came to understand that I should merge channels that have the same line up, so instead of an Analog NBC, a Digital Cable NBC, and Broadcast NBC, I should just have NBC, and let the tuner priorities resolve Digital or Analog availability. I did this, but no when I tune from channel to channel, Channels that have a Digital feed take a long time to start displaying, several minutes. Tuning from analog to analog only channels don't take anywhere near as long. This wasn't happening before I merged channels, I was able to switch from channel to channel, either with the "Change Channel" keys or the EPG. I'm not sure what went wrong Any suggestions ?
