[QUOTE="OMA, post: 78119, member: 24367"] Well, I don't think so. If you have the "Timeshift" option (inside "My TV") turned off, then it doesn't record anything. It's only that if it was turned on the last time MediaPortal was shut down, then MediaPortal records TV from the second it starts the next time. I'll try that. Well, I'm not using EPG, since my MediaPortal machine is not connected to the Internet, so they're just manually scheduled recordings (record from monday to friday, starting at this hour, and record for xx minutes). But those scheduled tasks never start. So the only option that works is the "Record now" button, but I also want to be able to schedule recordings, not just record immediately when I'm at the TV. Just paste the code I wrote in my previous message into the Notepad (substituting "c:\Path\To\MediaPortal" with the actual path to your MP installation). Then save it with an .vbs extension and put that file (or a link to that file) in the startup folder (Start / All programs / Startup). Make sure you disable inside MP Setup the option to start MediaPortal with Windows, since you will be loading it from the VBS file. If you still have the same problem, try increasing the wait time ("Sleep") by 1 or 2 seconds (3000 or 4000 milliseconds instead of 2000).
