[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1255661, member: 153283"] Hi CyberSimian Thank you for that detailed explanation. May I add yet another cause: corruption in the Channel table. Now, this is not the sort of thing that non-programmers can deal with, I'm afraid. Like you, I was mystified by True Entertainment not being available and I remembered an earlier problem where the channel table had an invalid value causing the processing to get 'muxed ip'. So I had a look at my channel table in the MpTvDb database and found loads of duplicate columns. Because the channel table is an inherent part of the refere3ntial integrity of the database, I had no alternative but to delete the database, reinstall MP (causing a default database to be installed), and re-enter all of my tuner data, channel data and schedules. It took me all morning. However, now (12:22), I am back to where I was with True Entertainment now working. While I was doing this another nasty thing happened. When I scanned for channels all of the BBC channels where assigned a channel number of 1000; TV and Radio. So, I had to go through all of those channels manually entering the correct channel numbers. All a bit strange. Tony [/QUOTE]
