[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 921546, member: 82144"] Unfortunately EPG is not something that always works automatically in MediaPortal. It does in WMC because MS has various contracts in place and has laid out the money to ensure they can get the data for their users. So the EPG won't show anything unless it is configured to use an appropriate data source. The DVB EPG section that you've seen and attempted to configure is most useful for people from other parts of the world where EPG data is actually broadcast over the air. Some ATSC broadcasters in the US do carry very limited EPG over the air, but most people find it so limited and inaccurate as to be useless. For that reason, people turn to [URL='http://www.schedulesdirect.org/']SchedulesDirect[/URL] ([URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/schedulesdirect-guide-importer']MP plugin[/URL]), [URL='http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/']mc2xml[/URL], or [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/User:rond/US_EPG_setup_using_WebEPG_and_imdb.com']WebEPG[/URL] to get data. The timeshift bar being blank is a side effect of your lack of EPG. MP can't show you much that is any use in there without EPG data available. [/QUOTE]
