[QUOTE="Pom, post: 81068, member: 23933"] I have a Telewest stb going in my PVR150 via composite. Can't give you accurate instructions as i'm away from my HTPC, but hopefully this helps (if not will give you better instructions later). With Mediaportal not running go into Mediaportal Setup (i.e. double-click the setup icon on your desktop). All the settings you need to adjust are under Television -> TV Capture Card and TV Channels. - Delete and re-add the TV capture card to start afresh. Check the settings but the default ones should be ok. - Forget about the Autotune function, it's not applicable when going in via composite - You need to set the TV card input to CVBS#1 - Delete any TV channels you might have in the channel list - Add a new TV channel, set it to 'Received by set-top box' and name it "Telewest STB" or something (under the 'External tab' i believe). Your new channel should now appear in the channel list when you go back to it. This should be about as much as you need to do! Now close Setup and start Mediportal. Go into MyTV. If you get the 'No tuning info available' message just dismiss it as it just means it has no EPG data. You should now have picture and sound. If not then turn off Timeshifting, if this now gives you picture and sound then you need to search the forum for reasons why your Timeshifting doesn't working (hint: if you're running ZoneAlarm firewall then UNINSTALL it completely as it screws up Timeshifting). If you get no TV with or without Timeshifting available then you have another problem that you need to resolve. Note that until you set up a blaster to control your stb (which can bring even greater problems - i'm still working on this and if you have one of the Pace stb's that use IrDA infra-red protocol then it's even more difficult. Check my other thread on this if have!) you will have to do all your channel changing via the stb remote like you would normally. If your TV now works but you get video/audio sync problems then you need to find the optimum video and audio codecs for your set-up. Also the Audio Renderer setting (only available in the TV settings from inside Mediaportal itself) needs to be set to 'Default Direct Sound'. [/QUOTE]
