[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 814835, member: 65661"] I'm sorry, but the software you are using doesn't tell us anything about the hardware you have installed, other than you are seeing some throughput in a display window. Video software is not always designed to interface with all other possible software, and it cannot be expected that all software will work with all possible hardware configurations. When you installed MediaPortal, you did select that you want to watch TV? That would then have installed the TV-Server software as well. If you run the TV-Server Configuration program, there will be a tree-view window on the left. Expand the TV-Servers item at the top, which should show the name of your computer, select that and a list of compatible devices that you might have installed on the computer should appear. In which case you should be able to scan for any available channels on that device. If nothing is in the list, then you do not have a compatible device installed, and MediaPortal cannot display your video input. You will then have to purchase and install a compatible TV card, and have an appropriate connection to that card if you wish to watch TV with Media Portal. I hope you can see we are trying our best to help. Regards, Chuck [/QUOTE]
