[QUOTE="Justintoxicated, post: 713880, member: 105625"] Ok Since no one seems to know or be able to provide proper instructions for installing a TV server after installing media portal without one I'll document my findings. I decided to scrap my entire install and re-install from scratch. While doing so I believe that I could have just selected the new install option rather than the update option and I probably would have been ok. However, now I have about 20 hours of configurations to run through again. I had a hell of a time trying to find information on re-installing Media portal so I would not have to re-configure, so after a few hours I decided to just start over...Really sucks that it takes so long to set everything up.... So now I have the TV server and stations but I go to setup guide data and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it! With Sage TV, i'd just enter my location and TV service and presto, it would pull all the data from Zap2It. There were other options if you did not want to use Zap2It, but it worked flawless and took about 2 minutes to setup... I can't for the life of me figure out how to get guide data with media portal, rather than some advise to PAY for it. I'm using OTA TV ATSC HDHR tuner and do NOT want to pay for TV. Searching the forum I am only reading that it does not work? Is this true? If so I may have to go back to finding another media center....But I think I have already tried them all.... [/QUOTE]
