[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1147083, member: 117536"] a couple comments. MePo does NOT need EPG to watch TV, obviously in the long run you want get EPG running so you are not stuck in a 70's timewarp using newspaper tv listings. So suggest you take 2 steps back make sure basic TV tune by channel works. 1. Start MP1 client, I pressed Alt-Enter to exit full screen, moved MP to main PC window. In TV Home you should be able click on [B]Channel[/B], select/switch to any channel you want, no EPG. I'm running HDHR Config to see what my tuner is doing. Make sure this works 1st. Double check for the channels(s) that are causing problems. To erase the internal EPG data, TV Server Config > [B]Manual Control[/B], press [B]Refresh DVB EPG[/B], ignore the popup message does not apply to USA, but this will clear the EPG for testing. [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/11_Manual_Control[/URL] My brain is still not connecting to your "Not Found" problem. So as a test in [B]Manual Control [/B]press [B]Stop Service[/B] wait a few seconds then press [B]Start[/B]. This will basically reset/restart the TV Server engine and start new log files. In TV Home select a "good" channel make sure it works, then select a "Not Found" channel. If you have hdhr config running you can see the channels change when you switch.
