[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 674711, member: 82144"] Well, I've figured out that my s-video and composite inputs both work. It is just that the cable from the old card has a slightly different pin configuration than the 7010ix. Very annoying as neither of the 2 breakout cables that I have match the 7010ix pin configuration! I assume the 7010ix is the same as the BGT3540 (I'm using the bgt3540 driver) and I don't see any reason why the BGT3540 would be any different than the BGT3595. Here is the pin diagram (perspective: looking at the socket on the card): [CODE] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 = ground 2 = audio right 3 = audio left 4 = ground 5 = intensity (luminance) 6 = ground 7 = colour (chrominance) [/CODE] Regarding the BGT3595 crossbar: I'm guessing that the reason that there are so many inputs is that there is a pair/group of inputs for each video format that the crossbar supports.

For this reason I would recommend attempting to "preview" your inputs in MediaPortal, rather than using the TV Server preview feature. [/QUOTE]
