Thanks for your reply. If the card has hardware encoder, will it have a better chance of working? I choose this card over the more expensive one (50$ more) that have a hardware encoder. If this 50$ is gonna make the process easier I might be happy to pay it.

Hello, As a newb, I just thought I'd post my experience with getting a multiseat MP 1.0.2 install going. First, my server is a Vista Ultimate 64 machine with a Hauppauge 2250 card in it. Aside from seriously editing the IMDB file to get the TV guide to work with my cable provider's channel lineup, this install went rather well -...

The nice thing is that the "no tuner card installed" error message doesn't pop up anymore when I go to the TV Home.

Try and upgrade your os and give it a shot. Do a clean format sometimes its as simple or should I say complicated as that.

I would recommend MCEBuddy for this one, it will remove adverts using comskip and convert to compressed format, the preferred one is h.264, quarter of the size of the original with same visual quality. Regarding TV, cable should be fine unless encrypted.

MP1 MP2 Digital TV DE
This is an old question, but No, MP will only be able to play what your TV Tuners will pickup. Therefore, you have two options: 1) If UVerse gives the non premium channels in Clear QAM, then you can use those channels (typically local channels and the first 99 channels if they are analog). I had TWC, and this worked well. But you...

This was one of my annoyances that I accepted in 1.02 Official Release. I just learned the new order and channel assignments. What it is doing is assigning Channel Number 1,2,3,4,5 etc to the order of the channels. So if your channel 7 was number 23 in the list, pressing 23 will tune your channel 7. In the tv server setup (I think...
