Hi guys, hope you can give a bit of advice here

I'm a long time user of MP on my main PC. Anyway, bit the bullet and bought a tidy HP N40L miniserver to become my dedi HTPC

Server 2008 R2, all installed good, Ran the BDA bat files pulling the files off my Win7 64 laptop and installing them on my R2 box. Also ran the tool from win2008workstation to double check... Also enabled Aero etc etc

Installed a nice HD 6450 gfx card with latest drivers, along with MPC-HC and latest rev of Sharkys codecs - all good

SQL Express 2008 installed all good, as did the dependencies for MP and MP itself, used SSMS to check the db created, all okay so far

Bought a hauppauge USB TD dual DVB-T tuner and downloaded the latest Win7 drivers for it from their website - all signed, all installed okay.

Added the 2 cards in TV Config, plugged the dongle into my aerial booster, channel scan went well on both devices, and TV Guide is all populated

However - now the issue - I try to watch TV and nothing appears to happen. MP appears frozen but it's not showing as "not responding" in taskmgr

Anyone got any obvious things I've missed, or to check for?

PS: I fired up a stream manually, and connecetd to it from my other PC using VLC - connection and display worked fine

Thanks in advance
