[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1014129, member: 82144"] No need to apologise - my comment was intended to mean "please do be nitpicky" [not that your comments were too nitpicky]. With this new TV engine that we're working on, having the new features etc. will be cool... however if we don't make it easy to use and configure then basically nothing else matters. So again, I welcome your specific comments because this is what we need going forwards. :) Yeah, setting up a capture device with MP has always been a difficult task. With the new TV engine I'm hoping to attempt to improve this in a couple of ways: [LIST=1] [*]Add more generic support for capture cards and inputs, so people have more choice on the hardware side.
