[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 880225, member: 82144"] Hi and welcome illutian :) I can feel the frustration, even from the other side of the world! I am genuinely sorry you're having trouble - let's see if we can't sort it out one step at a time. Let's start here. Is the "TV Cable" connected to an aerial (for over-the-air ATSC), or is it connected into a cable network (eg. Comcast) for "clear QAM" cable channels? Ignore that. This is your digital tuner, capable of receiving ATSC and non-encrypted cable channels. This is an analog tuner. Not much good these days since NTSC analog over-the-air signals have been turned off, but there are still a few analog channels delivered over cable. The usefulness of this will depend on what your TV cable is hooked up to at the other end. Ignore this for the moment. Later you could use it for SHOUTcast and other internet radio streams if you're interested. I here you - that's frustrating. Lets sort out the first question (about what your TV cable is connected to) before we push any further, because everything depends on that. This is a simple fix. The reason for the error is that your card can't convert analog signals to something that the PC can handle without a software package (encoders). This is what Hauppauge's "SoftPVR" or "SoftMCE" package is for. Download and install that from -->[URL='http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/downloads/SoftMCE_Setup.exe']here[/URL]<-- and you should be away laughing (well not laughing, but I hope you get what I mean). I know the wiki (...and by wiki, I mean [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com']our wiki[/URL], not the guide that I linked above...) is not always great for folks from your part of the world. It is a work in progress - point taken. No it is fully realistic and doable as long as you want to keep trying. HTH mm :) [/QUOTE]
