[QUOTE="BillyGates, post: 84555, member: 25795"] The Red LED goes on when there's power to the box. It seems to be dim when I first plug it in, and goes very bright after being in use. Once it goes bright, I don't notice it ever go dim again. I primarily use XP Media Center and it worked right out of the box with that. (After I followed the directions to load the provided drivers on CD). If WinTV isn't working I'm guessing you may have some sort of Video driver issue? You may want to work with Hauppauge support to figure out why WinTV2000 isn't working, then try and get MediaPortal working. FYI, I'm doing this with a Dell Inspiron E1505 for my Media Center and am very happy and impressed with the WinTV PVR USB2 that I actually think provides better quality then some of the Comcast cable stations as the decoder seems to 'clean-up' some noise.

(FYI, I've never tried WinTV2000, I just used MCE and MP, so I have no clue about it :( ) [/QUOTE]
