Yes that is very strange indeed - but that is Windows MediaCenter edition - not MediaPortal.
The equivalent DVB-T hybrid card (A16A) which uses the same chipset works fine.

Maybe it's because MCE can't handle Hybrid cards so to get analogue to be seen by MCE you need to add a seperate card.
Having a proper PVR card for analogue capture is the best way anyway.

I'll put in a call to the US to find out - just to be sure they aren't doing something weird.
