[QUOTE="johnrw, post: 156793, member: 51716"] I have been destroying a weekend to get the better of MediaPortal utilising a DVB-S tuner card which has a CAM slot which then takes a CI card. The card is FloppyDVT S/CI MCE from digital-everywhere.com, one of those supported by MediaPortal. For MediaPortal, I discovered on and downloaded from the digital-everywhere.com site that it uses a BDA driver 3.1 (not 3.2 which is used with MCE). Anyway I finally made it work and work well. It was realy simple in the end but I could find no useful single instruction anywhere and I am still waiting for various responses from the forums for the board. It won't matter now of course. The hard part was to discover by reading about other card setups that I needed to set the DiSEqC switch settings as per the following for 4 LNB's: LNB#1 Level 1 A/A LNB#2 Level 1 B/A LNB#3 Level 1 A/B LNB#4 Level 1 B/B I have 11300 MHz LNB's and whether it is right or wrong or not logical, I have made the following settings to make my card scan properly: LNB0 11300 Switch 12700 LNB1 11300 Anyway, I wanted the CAM slot so that I could put in my Irdeto CAM (like a PCMCIA card) then plug in my card for various encrypted channels. Works like a charm. To confirm, there is absolutely no method to get Sky TV into your computer without a SKY Digital TV subscription and Set Top Box. You can use AV outputs into AV inputs on the analog tuner card. Currently I have a Sky UHF decoder with its AV output plugged into AV inputs on one of my Hauppauge 150 MCE cards. Still not having success with PowerScheduler even though I have just switched to MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC1 which has just been released! It looks very good so far. Read about it on the team-mediaportal .com Home page. I have had success with Comskip to remove commercials when watching recorded programs and pressing skip on the remote when the commercials start. It would be great to have the commercials automatically skipped when watching like with DVRMSToolbox with MCE (which incorporates Comskip and ShowAnalyzer). [/QUOTE]
