[QUOTE="JCD, post: 515206, member: 98278"] I’m somewhat a newbie when it comes to media centers (and forums :). But I have identified the problem and looking to see if mediaportal is my solution. I have a unique situation with a very high end new sony vaio desktop/vista64 and my new satellite tv system where by it has 2 tuners and a setup that requires me to set the one main channel at anything above channel 69 -this is how I get tv in my main room and in the bedroom and on the pc via coax & appropriate splitters This method works for me on an older xp running (sony) giga pocket because I can set the giga pocket channel to say, channel 73 (or any I choose) I get live TV on my pc and I change channels via my satellite remote and I am able to record via giga pocket & export to mpg2 to the hard drive. But alas, giga pocket for vista (let alone 64bit) is not available and I am stuck with having to use the windows media center. But with the problem that it will not let me set a channel above #69 with an additional petpeeve that one can only save to dvr-ms format not to avi or mpg. So, I need to leave MCE behind me and get a different media solution. I don’t need to program to bring up multiple channels or tie into a database or shedule start/end tv programs -nothing like that. I just want a solution that will allow me to set the one channel to #73 whatever, have a record button on the mediaportal interface and allow me to record to whatever is on my TV at that moment in time… Sorry I rambled on, but I just gotta know if mediaportal is for me??? -and which download do I need.. (I obviously have direct x9 and .net, high end video card etc etc) my tv tuner is AVerMedia® A313A US Analog TV Tuner Driver I would really appreciate if someone could confirm that I’m on the right track… Thx, muchly JCD [/QUOTE]
