[QUOTE="gtfreymann, post: 796394, member: 114733"] Remember, like anything "new" there's a learning curve. I was just as lost initially with SageTV as I was with Media Portal (and MythBuntu, LinuxMCE, etc). I thought I would have to add every channel individually, but I just set some options and the TV Server added all the channels I receive automatically. From there it was a simple matter of highlighting the first, scrolling to the bottom and ctrl-click to highlight the entire roster, and then hitting the right arrow to add them to tuner 1, then doing the same thing to add the same channels to tuner 2. It took me a while to figure that out, but really, it took only minutes in the end. I spent more time renaming all my tv icons than I did setting up my channels. I'm still stuck in the stone ages when it comes to the TV so I haven't had to struggle with any of the HD tunes. However the forums here are helpful. Feel free to start a new thread that deals with this specific issue and I'm sure somebody will be able to help you. My best advice is to read over that wiki page I listed and try to understand what the 8 or so options are for. I've been settling on record each week on this channel lately. The old "record every week on this channel at this time" thing is not very reliable when your show is moved. But again, it's a learning curve I guess. I'm happy to say that my friend got MP setup at his place and all I did Sunday was fine tune it for him. On his big 50 inch screen both Amped and StreamedMP skins looked awesome. Well, there is another alternative if you're willing to muck with your system even more. For the Record is a TV Server replacement. It will give you all the nice scheduling options we enjoyed with SageTV. I have not tried this as I don't think we really need it and I didn't want to maintain yet another program. But have a look, you may not be firghtened by it: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/record-1-6-a-60390/[/url] [url=http://www.4therecord.eu/]For The Record[/url] Now that I've used MP for a couple months, and experimented and reinstalled from scratch a couple times, I can find my way around pretty good. The new extension manager is much like what we had in Sage and the Forums here are a great resource and seem to be quite friendly. Keep tinkering! Hopefully you can get your HD-PVR's working.
