Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a problem in MediaPortal where it is not displaying the TV.

Here's how I've configured it.

I have a Hauppage WinTV-HVR1300 MCE Edition TV Card.

I'm on NTL, this connects through a Panasonic DVD/HD Recorder via Scart. From here, the SVHS Output connects to the MediaCenter.
In MediaPortal, the channel is set to 'External Settop box' and using the SVHS. This is then mapped to the Analogue part of the TV Card (My setups show 3 cards, the Graphics Card, the Analogue part of the TV Card and the Digital part of the TV Card)

Now, the TV works fine when I use the software (WinTV32) supplied with the TV Card, but MediaPortal displays a black screen in both windowed & full-screen mode. I just can't get it to show the TV!.

As far as Codecs go, I have FFDShow installed although I've had this problem before I installed it. DivX 6.2.2 Codec is also installed.

Everything else is fine, I can play music, watch DVD's & all other Video, just can't view TV :(

Can someone help please :)

Thanks.
