[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1145992, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome! :) The wiki content should all be current. So, please can you tell me which information you thought wasn't current. I want to know so we can fix it or clarify for you. Yes. :) MediaPortal is the front-end; TV Server is the backend and handles tuner support. So, technically the question should be whether TV Server would work with the 2250... but the answer is yes, you can get your tuner working. Personally I'd have recommended MP1 over MP2. MP2 is a work in progress whereas MP1 is mature and stable. Most of the setup is the same for MP1 and MP2 (since you're actually working with TV Server, which is used by both MP1 and MP2 for TV support). Scanning is very simple. The options are explained here: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/7b_Scan_ATSC[/URL] For an OTA scan, literally all you have to do is select "digital terrestrial" and then click "scan". Not much to explain. :) For EPG you have a few options. The wiki explains a lot: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_%28EPG%29[/URL] I'll briefly highlight the choices for you (instructions linked where available): [LIST=1] [*][URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_%28EPG%29/XMLTV_mc2xml']mc2xml + XMLTV plugin[/URL]. This is probably the best option. You have secondary choices for your mc2xml data source. These are mostly explained on the mc2xml home page.

[/LIST] There's also a dedicated [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/schedulesdirect-guide-importer']SchedulesDirect plugin[/URL], but I wouldn't recommend it.
