Fossie: What's interesting is that MCE tells me that MHEG plugin failed to load or crashed, so hopefully MHEG5 implementation in the future?

Make sure you download and install the hotfix 961367 - this includes the MP3 fix and the MHEG plugin fix.

So by that I take it MHEG5 epg is working on DTT and there is no need for me to get a Sat card? Or does it just get rid of the error and still no EPG yet?

At this point the DTT EPG still is not working. The fix only removes the error.

Pity.

After I found the driver for my USB Tuner, I just started Windows Media Center (Windows 7) and followed the steps.

It found all the channells and all worked fine.

Shouldn't be much more to it than that.

sbiddle: There is currently no way to load 3rd party EPG's into Windows7.

The only way to get an EPG is to use a DVB-S source for the DVB EPG and map the channels.

Does this provide a complete solution, e.g. scheduling recordings, etc, or just a guide view?

I have a Hauppauge HVR3000. If I use this card to do this can I also use it for DVB-T viewing/recording or does it need to 'lock' the DVB-S?

PVR: Intel E8400 3.0GHz, MSI 945GCM5, 2GB RAM, MSI 8500GT HDMI, Hauppauge HVR3000, Philips 47pfl9532, MediaPortal RC2
