[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1142631, member: 82144"] David and spachti have both answered this. To put their answers in different words (in case it helps you understand)... As far as I know the outputs from the Colossus are "pass through". That means if you don't connect something on the input, you won't get anything on the output of the same type. For example, if you don't connect the HDMI input, you won't get anything from the HDMI output. Conversely, since you connected the component input, you should be able to use the component output. I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say "MP activity", "everything" and so on. However, I would say... When it comes to seeing MediaPortal (the user interface, videos, music, pictures etc.), you need to connect an output from the [U]PC's video/graphics card[/U] (ie. not the Colossus). That connection could be made with an HDMI connection. If you were just talking about seeing the channel that MP is receiving from the Colossus on the TV then that is an example of "pass through" (as explained above). If this is really what you want, you would connect the Colossus' component output to the TV. [/QUOTE]
