Anyone have any ideas as to why my tbs6981 will scan for channels ok and find epg data but won't preview any channels. It just comes up with a grey preview box with no picture.
The preview function is a bit hit and miss - it relies on codecs being available and configured appropriately on your system. It works well on some systems but not so well on others depending on what other software is installed.
There is absolutely no connection with the performance of your tuner so rest easy on that front.
I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC.
TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

Update: Problem solved!
The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal.
The issue stemmed from the corruption of one or both of the mc2xml.dat and/or mc2xml.exe files, for an unknown reason. Consequently, even though the tvguide.xml file appeared to be updated, its content kept being an...

I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...
