[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1147425, member: 82144"] That's great news! Sounds like we're making good progress here, eh? :) Yes, it could be signal drop. If you want to push your luck, you could try to create the channels manually following the procedure here: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels/Add_or_Edit_a_Channel[/URL] After creating the channel, you'll have to map it to your tuners in order for it to work. That's the same process you did for the second tuner after the digital scan on the first tuner. No, I think you're pretty much there. :) I on the other hand have been up all night (I'm in New Zealand - it's now 6:30 AM) working on an assignment that's due at 9 AM, and won't be finished. I'm exhausted and somewhat demoralised. The short answer is: I recommend you use mc2xml to get the SchedulesDirect data into an XMLTV file that can be imported by TV Server's XMLTV plugin: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)/XMLTV_mc2xml[/URL] The reason for doing it this way is that the XMLTV plugin gives you explicit control over which guide data is linked to which channel(s). That's as opposed to the SD plugin which attempts (and usually fails) to automatically link the guide data, and doesn't provide any way to force the mapping except by labouriously renaming channels. Don't get me wrong. XMLTV isn't a bed of roses. It has its qwerks... but at least there is a walkthrough. Ultimately it is your choice, but yeah... if I were you I'd definitely go the mc2xml + XMLTV route. ...and now I think I must crash. Please forgive me if I don't respond in a timely manner for the next 24 hours or so. [/QUOTE]
