[QUOTE="antonehenry, post: 321410, member: 78375"] Mr. Coyote I love you. I will have to check out one of these solutions from sagetv. My next step is channel changing, because *trumpets sound* I FINALLY HAVE TV ON WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of course it is just my DirecTV receiver sending signal to my hdpvr to my htpc to my tv... but it's a god damn start! Important part about these converters... I have no serial port on my HTPC. So I'm going to look for USB to USB solutions. Hopefully I find one. If you know of any... =] :thx: Edit: What about this: [url=http://www.cables.ie/computer-cables/gender-changer/p200_9-pin-d-sub-female-to-female-gender-changer.html]9 Pin D-SUB Female to Female Gender Changer - Gender Changer - Computer Cables - Cables.ie - Online Shop for Cables, Connectors, Leads, Adapters and Computer & Electronic Accessories[/url] usb>serial cable ==> this adapter i linked ====> serial>usb cable is that my option??? =] [B]EDIT2:[/B] It is! =] Seriously, this saga is going to end with a broken television. I'm about ready to punch it. Now that I finally got TV to work, to see it, to hear it, being one step away from finally being able to enjoy live tv in media portal.... The damn thing starts to freeze on me in a different way. When I select "TV On" audio starts to play, the screen changes, but the video isn't playing. I just get a frozen screen of weirdness (distorted mediaportal backgrounds) And I can't get out of it. So task manager, end process, and try again, and again. I can't even begin to understand what could have changed in the time I didn't touch anything and left it all on. Hopefully this thing becomes stable sometime, or else I'm going to end my life. The only reason I stick with mediaportal is because I can make it look very pretty and I get to use TVSeries. One more thing I wanna do. ugh [/QUOTE]
