[QUOTE="nzdreamer55, post: 864181, member: 106790"] New Attempt to set up Colossus card... Hello everyone. So I have a Colossus card that I purchased about 3 months ago and put it into my computer that is running media portal and that is as far as I have gotten. Life has gotten in the way and I have not been able to start this yet. After seeing that this thread has 80 pages, I really need to know what is current info and what is historic so I don't try to do something that has been worked around or changed. I have seen the first page of this list and note that there are some very helpful things to get this up an running. Is this still current (20120501)? I also noticed this [B]Known Issues:[/B] [LIST=1] [*][B]Fixed[/B] - Dolby Digital - MediaPoral will not switch correctly between 5.1 and 2.0 sources. [*][B]Fixed[/B] - inputs - MediaPoral will not switch correctly between different inputs. [*][B]Fixed[/B] - HDMI - The HDMI input on the Colossus is not supported. A patch has been submitted by [B]Klairic[/B] to enable the HDMI input. Thanks Klairic! [*][B]Fixed (MP 1.2.1)[/B] - WMC plugin - The Hauppauge Colossus and HD-PVR Windows Media Center plugins cause compatibility problems for TV Server. The patch and instructions for MP 1.2.0 are below. [/LIST] Does number 3 mean that I can jump from my STB to the Colossus via the HDMI and it will captuer anything that comes from my STB (this would be awesome!)? Could I then go to my TV via HDMI for pass through? I am in the USA, should I get a Schedules Direct account before I try this or should I try to set it up and get it working then pay for the subscription in case I run into trouble setting it up? Finally, is anyone using For The Record with the Colossus (FTR, 4TR) to schedule recordings or is this kind of independent of what card is capturing? Ok now finally, This is a future proof question. Currently my media portal computer acts like a media server for the rest of my computer and stores files that are being uploaded (torrents-the uploading and downloading is being done by another computer, not the one running mediaportal and the media portal is just the landing computer for these files-hence it is acting like a server).
