I really don't have any luck with all this. I have just typed you a long description of what has happened to date, including a link to log files; I pressed post, and the whole lot just disappeared! I will start again......
Thanks for looking further at this: I have been out of the loop for a while; other distractions.
Yes, using Red October Standard.
Crashed again after experimenting with live tv. Here is a link to the log files etc.

Using OTA only at the moment for the reasons you mentioned previously. Having chosen my favourite channels, I ran OTA EPG only to find that none of my favourites had any programme info in them at all. I would try one of the subscription options if I could be sure that it would work. After all, I don't want to pay for something unless I can be sure it will be worth it.
I am no longer using MC26 as a server on my server machine until I can get this all sorted. Each instance is running it's own library. This is fine, except the users do not have the option of watching live TV or making recordings. Maybe one day.......
