How to get my Hauppauge Colossus working with media portal (1 Viewer)

[Black Magix]

I've been very frustrated with my colossus lately as apparently hauppauge told me that my video card drivers were preventing the card from working correctly in windows media center (audio, no video) Their Solution? Just use WinTv7 to watch tv....

yeah no...this is an HTPC and I want functionality in my front end. So I'm going to make the switch to media portal after hearing how they support the card now.

Now I have NO idea how to get this to work right. so a quick run down.

1) installed drivers from Colossus
2) Installed media portal
3) Installed IRBlast and IR32 for my included blaster and remote
4) configured irblast with the colossus made sure that it worked with my motorola dct 6200
5) Configured media portal with all my current media
6) Downloaded the Schedule direct plugin and added it per instructions

Now I have no idea what I need to do to get this bad boy to work. When I scan for channels under tv servers, it finds nothing.

Any advice would be most helpful.

Let me chime in here with the similar issue. I just pulled together my first ever build for a pc/htpc and included the Colossus bd and yet it only seems to work with WinTV. I followed your same process, with the only difference that I use another epg programmer (MS legacy) instead of Schedules Direct. I configured all the MediPortal items yet I cannot launch the plugin/Colossus within MediaPortal.

In my TV Server Configuration I do see to servers for the card: (1) Analog Hauppauge Colossus Crossbar 0, and, (2) DVB-T Hauppauge HD PVR Software Tuner. This is where one should scan for available channels.

We'll need some one in the forum with experience with the card and plugin to help us out here. Thanks!
