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. I picked the latest, largest and Cumulative ones and everything burst into action enough to re-install MediaPortal 1.33 which is running very well. I let...

    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...

    Isn't this normal? I mean perhaps you should first do some config before you can start using mediaportal?

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.
