[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1220442, member: 103549"] Hi. If your talking true satellite TV, then I can't help [don't use it and have no idea how too:). However from previous service you had, my guess is the service you are using in ground based DVB-T [in UK, this is called 'Freeview']. For this unless your decoder provides a TV data stream on Ethernet, you WILL need a tuner. MOST simple USB based tuners work with MediaPortal [example - [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/August-DVB-T210-Television-Definition-Compatible/dp/B008D8K50Q']USB Freeview HD TV Tuner - August DVB-T210 - Watch Digital Television in Full HD on Laptop and Desktop Computers - External Televison Card for Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories[/URL]], however I would use the signal from your antenna and to the little whip aerial provided. Depending on need, you may want 2 channels [example - [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Electronics-Photo/Hauppauge-WinTV-dual-HD-Freeview-broadcasts/B011Z7I0JY/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_147_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZF7J35XSQ4PBABKK9Z95']Hauppauge WinTV-dual HD - Dual, Triple Mode, TV Tuner for Freeview (DVB-T), Freeview HD (DVB-T2) and Cable (DVB-C) broadcasts: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories[/URL]]. NOTE - MediaPortal can show and record MULTIPLE channels on a SINGLE receiver IF they are transmitted on the same transponder - this purely down to your provider and what channels you want to watch/record. Setting up TV server - [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/TV-Server+Configuration']TV-Server Configuration - MediaPortal 1 - MediaPortal Wiki[/URL]. This will walk you through the setup - note, your tuner will be under TVServer-> Hostname -> Server [where server will probably start "DVB-T......"] Cheers - JCMP [/QUOTE]
