TV Card[/b]: Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150MCE [b]Satelite/CableTV Provider[/b]: Rogers Digital Cable Hey guys! :) It's been quite a while since I was around here. Unfortunately I stopped using MediaPortal for a while (Did not use anything else, just didn't find it a necessity anymore). Regardless, I'm back to wanting to set it up and everything runs fine, as it did before except the TV portion. I've recently upgraded from Analogue Cable to Digital Cable and for the life of me I just can't figure out how to get MP to recognize this. I'll give you 2 examples of what I have done and let you know what the results were: I ran RCA cables from the digital box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3200) to the PVR-150 which of course shows the same thing on both the TV and the computer. This is an "ok" solution but not what I want ultimately. I've also plugged the coax that normally goes from the settop box to the TV, from the settop box to the PVR-150 and that yielded even worse results. Basically I had to set MP on a specific channel and then leave it there, while using the digital box remote to change channels etc. I could then of course run RCA from my 6200 to the TV but again, that's over complicated. Here's what I'd like to do, and I really hope someone can point me in the right direction and or offer a better setup. I'd like to be able to use MP entirely for watching TV/Recording etc. I'd like the Channel Guide to come up in MP with the correct information and channel listings. All in Digital of course. I have done repeated search here and on Google for Rogers specific setups with PVR-150's or even just MP but I can't for the life of me find anything of use. I've also notice something about a TV-Server3. I do not have it nor do I have any idea what that's about ;) Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Even if you aren't with Rogers but have the same settop box I'd like to hear about how you've set it up. Also, MP appears to only want to scan for Analogue channels and doesn't offer any digital cable type of settings if that's what I have. TIA! [/QUOTE]
