[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1279268, member: 109222"] I did, but this was many, many years ago. If an anlog TV tuner is working with MP at all depends on the needed Codec to decode the analog signal. Some of them are commercial and (still) not freely available. Best case is if the PC hardware (most likely the tuner card) can do the coding on hardware base. And some tuner card has proper support for FBas and or S-Video input connectors. Then those connectors will show up in TV server as own channels. I had an Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 MCE analog card for terrestrial analog receiving back in those days. They were made especially for the upcoming Windows XP- MCE edition and are working like a charm with Windows MediaCenter. It has two analog tuner, an audio stereo input (2 x chinch, red and white) a Video (FBas) input (1 x chinch yellow) and one S-Video (MiniDin black) input: [ATTACH]207124[/ATTACH] (This picture is the NTSC version, I had the same card with a PAL tuner as needed in Germany, of course... Those days the MP 1 TV server could use lot more tuner cards than MCE but those cards are also the best you could get for usage with MediaPortal. They had a chinch (= FBas) and a Mini- DIN (= S-Video) input connector. Both of them are usable from inside MP1 and MCE... Normally a VHS player has at least a scart connector (something like a "prehistoric HDMI connector" ;) ). Here you can always get the FBas and the audio signal from. If your VHS player is an S-VHS player it has the S-Video signal available on scart too... Tons of very cheap adapter cables are available out there.
