[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1004723, member: 82144"] If you're using the same inputs on both then it is possible. When I say inputs I mean the MP inputs - ie. YRYBY #1 or whatever - not just in physical terms. This is a general limitation with all channels received via capture inputs in MP. So, for the specific example of the Colossus and HD-PVR, it would work if you use the component video input (red, green and blue, YRYBY #1) with stereo (RCA) audio (red and white, Line #1). S/PDIF audio is a problem because the Colossus S/PDIF input is #2 and the HD-PVR is #1. Likewise, it would be a problem if you're wanting to use the HDMI input on the Colossus. I haven't heard this for sure but I recall reading that somebody got channel sharing with unmatched inputs to work by fiddling with the XML files in c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\AnalogCard\. I can't confirm, but if you want to try it then I'm happy to try and assist. The strategy depends on what inputs you want to use on the Colossus and HD-PVR, so please post these details first so I can think about it. The idea of the thread is to have all the useful info in the first post and be a single port-of-call if you need help. It would not be recommended to attempt to read the whole thread.
