[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1190131, member: 82144"] For people reading this thread in future... After I had configured GlamRockCowboy's system, he had subsequently installed and/or activated the SchedulesDirect plugin. The SchedulesDirect plugin had created a whole lot of analog channels (as per its default config) which are untunable for a CableCARD tuner. GlamRockCowboy was trying to schedule a recording on one of those analog channels... but that's not going to work when you don't have any analog tuners. Hence the error message. My advice to people with CableCARD tuners: don't attempt to install or use the SchedulesDirect plugin. It's fine for digital over-the-air/ATSC/antenna/aerial/terrestrial, analog cable, and digital cable + set-top-box + IR blaster setups, however it doesn't work very well with clear QAM or CableCARD tuner setups. If you receive digital cable TV, have a clear QAM or CableCARD tuner, and have a SchedulesDirect subscription, use either [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)/XMLTV_mc2xml']mc2xml[/URL] or the official XMLTV grabber to pull your EPG data into an XMLTV file, then use TV Server's XMLTV plugin to import it.
