[QUOTE="BrandonG777, post: 60709, member: 21659"] Ok I have a bit of a janky setup but I'm trying to use my existing hardware instead of buying more crap. I have a Motorola cable box I'm trying to control via the motorola plugin. I'm guessing that will but haven't tested it yet. This is my biggest problem, I have a ADS Tech box that connects via firewire and converts analog to digital/digital to analog. I would like to be able to plug in my cable box via s-video cable to this ADS Tech box and capture via firewire. I want to do it like this because I have an old 2ghz Dell laptop that is an absolute piece of junk. It has everything I need to make a good MediaPortal system except one thing. It doesn't have USB2.0 so trying to use a capture device using USB1.1 isn't really an option. I messed around with it in GraphEdit but I really have no clue on what I'm doing there. I got it to render the pins but I wasn't sure if or how to map them in the xml file. If that would work I'm thinking thats the simplest solution but I still need help. The ADS Tech box is actually called Pyro A/V. Here is a link: [url]http://www.adstech.com/products/API-555/intro/api555_intro.asp?pid=API-555[/url] If someone could help me with this I would REALLY appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
