[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1163891, member: 74879"] Hello DG0129, Hope you have not given up MP2 completely. In case that you want to use MP2 please make sure that you did not install MP1 on the same machine. If you did, then you need to [U]deactivate[/U] its associated Windows service "TV Server service". The reason is that both MP1 and MP2 come with their own TV part, which is then causing conflicts. You might have been communicating with the wrong TV service. For being sure you may want to uninstall the MP1 elements (both client and server part) and restart the PC. If MP2 is correctly installed you should see a couple of orange-colored MP2 icons on your desktop. Make sure that you are using the Update1 version. Launch the MP2 TV configuration and verify that your 130 channels are still visible. If not run a new search. In the client side check out the settings section and look for TV. Make sure that your server is automatically recognized (it should be), if not you should be able to select it from a dropdown menu. Furtehr settings would include the definitino of shares for music, movies, series, etc. Note that AFAIK MediCenter recordings are not directly playable in MediaPortal, but I may be wrong here. In any case there are ways of making them available. EPG data needs to be configured first. Now there is no informaiton provided through SAT providers like in Europe.
