New to Media Portal. I have it installed and working with the remote but cannot figure out how to get the tv tuner to work. I'm running Windows 10 with an HP Digital/Analogue TV Tuner card. Help is appreciated. Thank you!

    You need to setup the TV tuner in "TV Server Configuration". There should be a shortcut on the Windows desktop. The primary action is to "scan for channels", but obviously there are other things to setup too (such as the folder to use for recordings).

    MediaPortal should be able to use your tuner provided that the tuner has a BDA driver (BDA is the device interface that Microsoft defined), and you have installed that driver. If it is an older tuner, Windows has probably already installed the driver for it.

    There is a Wiki for MediaPortal and TV Server. Configuration for the latter is described here.

    It took a while but loading the three updates and waiting, (I wandered off doing other things), while the Win 7 searched for updates eventually brought about 170 available updates.

    MP1 MP2 TV tuner fails to load (was working) DE
    When I tested MP 2.5 some months ago using TVE3.5, I found that "scan for channels" failed to find any channels when I selected a DVB-T2 tuner (a TBS 6284) :(, but succeeded when I used a DVB-T tuner (a Pinnacle 2000i) :). Obviously the Pinnacle found only those channels broadcast in DVB-T MUXes (in the UK we have both DVB-T MUXes and...

    MP1 MP2 Cannot connect HDHomeRun tuner DE
    I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...
