[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 741926, member: 82144"] Hi SKnight Welcome to the forum! :) That list of tuners looks right to me. The DVB-IP tuner is a built in virtual tuner for people who get IP-TV services through their internet service providers. The radio web stream tuner is for listening to internet radio streams from websites like SHOUTcast (more info on the wiki --> [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/Radio_WebStreams"]here[/URL] <--). The "Analog Hauppauge Colossus Crossbar 0" is your Colossus... So, what you need to do to get the Colossus working is roughly: 1. Set up some channels. Create them, add them to one or more channel groups, and then map them to your Colossus. 2. Set up the blaster to make your set top box change channels when you change channels in MediaPortal. 3. Find a way of getting guide data for your channels. I'm not particularly qualified to help you with any of those things except to say that you've come to the right place to get information. :D For (1), there is some discussion about that on [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-talk-45/hauppauge-hd-pvr-colossus-support-94850/index16.html"]this[/URL] page of the thread. Basically you either need to create channels manually (see [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels"]here[/URL] for a little information) or use SchedulesDirect (which many of the folks here use to get guide data) and ForTheRecord (an advanced plugin for scheduling recordings) to import them straight from your guide information. I'm totally clueless about (2) and I've already mentioned SchedulesDirect which is what most people are using for (3). Well, I hope that quick overview at least points you in the right direction. Other people here will be able to give more specific advice and answers. Thanks for trying MediaPortal mm [/QUOTE]
