[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 933134, member: 75318"] Hi Curt, I think the info you posted relates to the SD / MMC card reader and not the TV tuner card. My cards are listed under:- Device Manager > (computer name) > Sound, video and game controllers Additionally, to make things simpler to understand, did you buy the TV tuner card, and what part, or model number, is on the box that TV tuner card came in? You said: Without seeing your screen it is difficult to identify what you are seeing, however, I think what you are seeing relates to the TV Server part of MePo. By way of a quick outline, MePo consists of two parts, one is the TV server and the other is the 'client' that is used to watch TV, or movies etc. The TV Server part deals with live TV streaming, channel organisation and EPG grabbing and the 'client' deals with the watching and listening bit. In order for the whole live TV part to work you have to put in a host name, or IP address when configuring the TV Server part, and you use this hostname or IP, when setting up the 'client' so it knows where to look for the media stream. The reason for this two part setup is so you can have multiple clients running from one server. You need to setup your tuner card and scan for channels, before doing anything else. It isn't as simple as just entering a zip code and all the channels then appearing; well, it isn't here in the UK. :( I hope that helps to clarify things a bit :) [/QUOTE]
