    OK so I have finally got digital TV working, and now I can't get analog with my PVR150 working! I have the latest drivers installed and i have tried all the MPEG2 codecs I have installed. All I get with Preview and in Mediaportal is a blank screen, no sound. But analog radio works.

    What can I check here? I know it used to work on my previous installs

    Apologies on the stuff up there, should have paid attention to where I was posting. I will attach logs once I get my machine booted up again. :sorry:

    OK got the data out of the logs, looks like I didn't have permissions (running MP from a standard user, should I change this to admin?) to delete the logs so I have done a ninja clean-up: the mediaportal log and error log have been cut to the relevant data.

    So I started MP and went to channel 1 and scrolled through. The analog channel is called Prime and is channel 5. Here is the bit when changed to Prime:

    I can't see anything in there to point out what is wrong. The error log is full of references to permission errors so I will change the user to an admin and see how it changes things

    OK so an update:

    I used PowerCinema 5 to confirm the tuner is still working, it managed to scan in lots of channels so I know the PVR150 isn't broken (an issue given how much I have moved the box around).

    Went an rechecked in MP, still can't see any scanned or manually added channels. Is someone able to confirm for me the the 7/06 SVN works with analog (I am sure it would have been noticed if it didn't)?

    Edit: Well it turns out it works, at least on my desktop connected as a client. I can't see what the difference is, they are both Vista SP1 machines using the same codecs with Aero enabled. I will post back here when I (hopefully!) figure out what it is.

    Well upgraded to the latest SVN and it works. Don't know if it was actually the SVN, may have just been resetting something. However I am happy with it whatever it was :)
