[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 781658, member: 82144"] Hi DaRacerz Cool - no problem. :) That's because they're not connected. See the "inputs" information in the first post. You're using the "preview" button in the TV Channels list, right? I'm almost certain this is either a [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/11_Preparing_Your_System/1_Codecs"]codec[/URL] or audio input selection problem. Try specifying the audio input in the tuning details for one of your channels - use "Line In #1" for the RCA R/W audio connections. If the channel still shows freeze frame then you have a codec issue. It would be easiest to ignore the problem and try to view the channel in MP if that is the case. The reason I say that is that the codecs that will be used for TV Server preview depend entirely on your system codecs being configured correctly (which is rarely the case when media programs or codec packs have been installed) - technically codec "merits", which can be managed with [URL="http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Filmerit.htm"]filmerit[/URL] or [URL="http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RadLight_Filter_Manager"]radlight[/URL].
