[QUOTE="Draviddavid, post: 549645, member: 100448"] Well, one format later and an hours worth of downloads, I managed to get MediaPortal working! Hurray! It seems for some reason if I install MediaPortal with the "I want to view HD content" option" it will install MediaPortal and the TV server seperatly as if I was setting it up as a master server to serve other TV's and computers on my network. Well, this time I thought I would play dumb and selected "I don't know what HD is" (or something to that effect) and it gave me a much more precise range of options that made more sense than the other questions I was asked if I selected "I want to view HD content" The selection I was looking for all along was the "MediaPortal and built-in TV-Server" for a single end user, rather than the "MediaPortal and TV-Server (1.0 I think it was) seperate from each other". So instead of being asked what the IP of my computer with the TV-Server on it was I actually found the "Capture card" setting in the configuration under "Television" (which was missing before), wrote up a configuration file for the only Optus satellite that was missing from the hundreds listed (OPTUS D1) and scanned to find all the channels I was looking for! After playing around with the switch settings (which to my suprise I didn't actually have a switch at all) and the LNB frequencies, everthing seems to be honky dory appart from some weird artifacts on screen (which I think is a reception problem) and the lacking EPG which I have yet to figure out how to download. But all in good time! Thankyou for the support, I'm sorry I couldn't have been more helpful. And if anyone wants the "tuning file thing" for OPTUS D1 feel free to PM me. And for those that have OPTUS D1 already set up but are getting nothing but encrypted sky channels, simply turn off the 22Khz tone and have the switch frequency on 0 if you don't have one. It is not required in many more cases than not and just seems to cause problems for me. Thanks again! Cheers, David [/QUOTE]
