[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1280591, member: 141969"] The internet is a wonderful way of allowing people to misunderstand each other, even when both parties to the conversation learned the same language as their first language. :( Are you hoping to use Linux to run MediaPortal? If so, I have to disappoint you, because MediaPortal runs only on Windows. :( The [b]TBS 6904[/b] card is a satellite card; see [URL='https://www.tbsdtv.com/products/tbs6904-dvb-s2-quad-tuner-pcie-card.html']this page[/URL] on the TBS web site. Does Unicable broadcast via a satellite? If Unicable is a cable TV provider, possibly you should be using a [b]TBS 6205[/b] card, which supports both DVB-T/T2 and DVB-C. I notice that the [b]TBS 6209[/b] card is similar, but also claims support for DVB-C2. I don't know whether the TBS 6205 supports DVB-C2, or whether it supports only DVB-C. I have never used cable TV, but I [i]think[/i] that MediaPortal will support it, [i]provided that the channels are not encrypted[/i]. If the channels are encrypted, I think that you have to use a tuner card that has a CI slot into which you insert a viewing card. But I have never use this type of system. so I may have misunderstood how it works. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
