[QUOTE="dvgeek, post: 1223939, member: 144768"] Thanks for responding so quickly! Unfortunately, I've blown the install away so don't have any log files. Not sure if any log files would have helped - explanation below. I followed all the steps from mm1352000 diligently. It showed that about 528 channels were found. And all the channels came up with a red icon which had a 'T' inside the icon. I guess that all channels are encrypted (even the free to air broadcast ones). I even tried force editing a channel by ticking the 'Free to Air' check box so that the icon turns green (still had a capital 'T' in it). In the manual control section, timeshift works - a file is allocated in the timeshift directory, but the recording button is grayed out - so cannot record the channel to see if actually anything is recorded or not. Preview button in the TV channels section just shows a black screen. On checking the web regarding my cable provider (Comcast) - I read in one forum that they encrypted everything - even the free to air channels. So I guess I'm stuck. What puzzles me is that NextPVR works - and I'm forced to use that.Or go to WMC :( And Oh! PLEX DVR works too (tested in both Linux and Windows 10) - but it's a long long way from being where I want it to be. Thanks again! [B]PS:[/B] I have quite a bit of hardware, so I can quickly put up a system or two or three, and get a set-up going in an hour. I can repeat the entire process, capture the logs and send them - if it helps. But will MP be able to decrypt the channels like NextPVR or PLEX DVR? If MP is supposed to, then I'm willing to go through the process again and let's figure this thing out - I'm sure there must be quite a few users of MP with Comcast digital cable. [/QUOTE]
