Hi
I am running MediaPortal on a Vista Home system. The TV tuner is no longer working. It worked perfectly, I removed the card (USB device) and now even though Vista sees the device and there are no errors in Device Manager, MediaPortal says there is no AV device. I have checked these forums but there is no simple command to delete the settings and start again. I don't wish to have to fiddle with config files, SQL settings, etc. MediaPortal will bring me the benefit of watching media other than MS-DVR and DVDs on the same interface, but if this is all too hard I will just go back to Windows Media Center.
Common developers, make this WORK. Sorry but the Open Source community needs to understand that to kill Windows for good, open source needs to be consumer-friendly, not nerd-friendly. I keep trying to get end-users to switch to Linux, but every time there is some complicated technical fix to make something work. Scares the hell out of the general public.
Please don't get angry with me, but take this as positive feedback and improve MediaPortal.
And, my apologies if I missed the instructions already on this forum somewhere that tells me how to Reset MediaPortal. If so, PLEASE tell me where to look (and not in my dark place where the sun doesn't shine).
Thanks, cheers, and good luck!
