[QUOTE="LYHTSPD, post: 387715, member: 88986"] Andrew - Thanks for the input and the suggestions. I apologize for not getting back to this sooner. It is tax time in the LYHTSPD household, so I have been plugging away at that for the last week (off and on). Just an update... I messed around with the MPV/MPA codecs and got the same results. I even tried installing a trial of Beyond TV (shhh, don't tell anyone) and that didn't even work. It would not even autoscan any of the digital channels! I then started to go through ALL the setting of the TV server and MP one by one, just to make sure I did not miss anything on the initial setup. I was having some problems with the TV server config program locking up on me when I first started messing with it. Low and behold, Andrew stumbled upon my problem. My timeshift folder path was incorrect! I am 120% sure I changed it during my first configuration, but somehow it got set back to the default value. I pointed it in the right direction and I have TV! I even switched my codecs back to AC3, ffdshow, etc and everything seems to work. I am not getting the guide for the channels, but I am not really worried about that now. The video is jerky at times, but I really did expect that with a barebones setup like mine. I uncovered a P4 2.8 GHz cpu and motherboard combo that I forgot I had. I am going to try and build a system around that with parts I have around the house and see how that goes. With all the experimentation I have done in the last few weeks, I should really start over with a clean install of my OS and MP. [/QUOTE]
