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.

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    MP1 MP2 An installation report - older hardware and why I used 1.33 not 1.38 DE
    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
