[QUOTE="sjevtic, post: 859036, member: 118214"] Glad to hear that you're making progress. You're definitely scraping the depths of my MP knowledge though--I haven't been at this for very long. Have you gotten HDMI capture working reliably, and if so, does it support resolution switching on-the-fly now? I don't recall any Colossus drivers being missing after uninstalling WinTV7, and I never installed it at all on my current TV-Server machine, which has 3 Colossus cards that are running great. Speaking of Colossus drivers, are you running the latest? The ones that came with the board on the CD were pretty stale and issue-laden for me, so you definitely want to download the current ones if you haven't already ([url]http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/support_colossus.html[/url]). By the way, you can confirm that your Colossus and its drivers are installed by looking in Device Manager under "Sound, video and game controllers." The current driver version should show up as 1.3.29361.0. As you suggest, you can't really scan for channels on a STB attached to a Colossus. I'm using SchedulesDirect and the associated MediaPortal plugin for it. In addition to (reliably) providing EPG data, it also populated my channels database with the channel lineup that is associated with the provider I selected when setting up my SchedulesDirect account. I'm sure there are other ways though--this is just the way I did it. Sasha [/QUOTE]
