[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1276422, member: 141969"] From reading mm's post in the [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cablecard-tuner-support-for-mediaportal-1.112585/']thread I linked before[/URL], that outcome looks favourable. It found a total of 765 channels (which looks a believable number), and did not diagnose any errors. (y) :) If all of the channels found are red, it may be that you have not configured MP to use the CAM. mm in his post describes what you need to do; I will quote it here: [LIST=1] [*][URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers#Edit_Tuner_Settings']Edit the settings[/URL] [B]for each CableCARD tuner[/B] (select, click "edit"...) - tick "CAM enabled and present for this card" and set "this card can decode..." to 1, then click save.
