[QUOTE="glenb83, post: 750459, member: 91087"] Hi all, I am happily running mediaportal as a full HTPC. I have it customised to my needs and everything is working great! Only issue I have, is not being able to pick up some Australian TV channels. Specifically, I can not pick up any of the SBS stations (sbs 1,2,HD etc), yet when I have the aerial directly connected to my TV, I can pick them up. I am in Kiama on the south coast of NSW, and can pick up both Sydney stations and Wollongong stations (ie I can pick up 7 and Prime) on the TV direct. I have done a scan with the 'all regions' option in mp tv server config, but still cant pick up any of the SBS stations. Is this likely to be a problem with MP or with my TV Tuner card? My DTV1000s was a fairly budget card (around $50 thereabouts from memory), is there any benefit to getting an additional TV tuner card (either usb or pci) for better signal reception aswell as the benefit of watching 1 channel whilst recording another, or can this only be done from a dual tuner card, not 2x physical cards? If I do need a new card, what would people recommend as a good option in the sub $100 range to pick up the extra channels I am missing? [/QUOTE]
