[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1026577, member: 82144"] Hello again Yep, and the WDM drivers are the right ones to use for MediaPortal. :) Expect it to show as "B2C2 Source". I have an old Skystar 2 somewhere and I also remember it was a pain to get it working with the WDM driver. Sorry, it has been awhile since I've used it and I can't remember the steps. However, if it is working in DVBViewer then it should also work in MP... though of course you can only use it in one or other application at any given time. Also, make sure there is no TechniSat software (satellite data/internet) type application running in the background/system-tray. Indeed, you're not far. :) The problem is this: It means TV Server can't detect what type of tuner it is. I'm not sure why the tuner type can't be detected, but as above: make sure the tuner is not being used in other software while you're trying to use it in MP. mm [/QUOTE]
