[QUOTE="illutian, post: 880223, member: 126777"] I'm bumping this because I am about to go postal. I cannot get anything to work for this stupid-ass TV Tuner (WinTV HVR 1250). Orb doesn't work VLC doesn't work MediaPortal doesn't work What in God's name is wrong that this stuff never 'just works' for me. --- I installed MediaPortal (Server). It sees my card as a WintTV 885. I have the TV Cable attached to the Tuner Card. I see: MediaPortal IPTV Source Filter Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod Hauppauge WinTV 885 Tuner RadioWebStream Card (builtin) And that's about all the progress I can make, every single channel no matter what setting I use for the ASTC has 'no signal'. If I pick 'Analog' and 'Cable' as the source I get and error telling me to install "supported audio/video encoder fro your software analog card". Now I know I'll get the standard "read the help guide"...well, the reason I'm here posting is because the 'Help Guide' was completely UN-helpful. I literally want to stream Live TV to this computer, because I don't want to leave a several thousand dollar rig on all night so I can record shows that air in the evening when I'm too tired to stay up and watch them. And I shouldn't have to drop ~$179 on a freak'n SlingBox to achieve what I want to do. :\ So, what have I done wrong, or is what I want to do impossible... [/QUOTE]
