[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 920322, member: 82144"] Right, okay. Analog tuners require encoders to convert the analog signal into a digital stream - a format that the computer can understand and manipulate. Some tuners have dedicated chips ("hardware") to do this job. Others don't - they require certain software to be installed in order for MP (and other software) to be able to operate the tuner. Your tuner is in the second category. It requires "software encoders" to be installed. Hence the message. In practical terms that all means that although your tuner can tune, MP can't actually receive the video or audio at the moment.
