[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1061865, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome neurological :) First, some reference material that may or may not help: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/7_Scan_Analog/Software_Encoding_Card_Setup[/url] [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/06_General#Software_Encoders_Tab[/url] [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/solution-for-all-most-software-encoder-based-tv-cards.90355/[/url] Salient points: [LIST=1] [*]Analog tuners are increasingly irrelevant these days as more and more countries have transitioned to digital TV. Unless you're trying to pull in FM radio, analog cable channels, or an input from an external video source (commonly a cable or satellite set-top-box), analog tuners are likely of no use to you. [*]If you are trying to pull in an external video source: using a tuner gives the worst possible video and audio quality. Better to use component, s-video or composite inputs.

[/LIST] As above, point 4. Since Corel bought Intervideo, WinDVR is no longer available or sold. Even the old trial has become increasingly hard to find. Use Hauppauge's SoftPVR/SoftMCE. It is meant to be compatible with Hauppauge tuners and is free. Most tuner manufacturers provide their own software encoder package. Hauppauge's is SoftPVR/SoftMCE. You should not need WinDVR. Encoders are not required/relevant for ATSC mode, hence you won't get an error. Yep, the answer is no. In technical terms: Windows 7 comes with encoders. These are the ones WMC is using. Unfortunately they're not compatible with TV Server. TV Server can only use the encoders in the lists in TV Server configuration (link 2 above). Hauppauge is not shutting you out.
