Im trying to set up MP with a dual tuner PVR500MCE to use UK analogue and telewest cable via an external set top box. I have the analogue TV working ok connected to the ariel socket on my card, but no cable. I am connecting the cable from a scart from the STB to composite on the PVR500.
Running the set up from within MP does not pick up any cable channels when it scans, I presume I am missing an option somewhere to specify composite input?
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Has anyone in the uk got MP working with telewest? Is there a set of best practices to follow?
Playing around a bit gives me some funny results..
With just a analogue ariel connection I pick up 31 channels when I scan!!! I know you can get digital through a normal TV ariel connection, but the PVR is not a digital card, just analogue.
If I disconnect the analogue connection and just use my cable composite connection I get no channels when I scan...

Any help gratefully received!!!
