Why not have an option to use an external program to watch TV. This way you can bypass all incompartibility problems with software TV cards. At least until they get supported by mediaportal

I know but I would really prefer to use the main menu "TV button" . I want to make my HTPC my main attraction in the living room and in order to get the approval of the wife I have to make it as user friendly as possible.
What can I say ? Women ;)
Thanks very much for the reply anyway.

It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...
