[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1019500, member: 82144"] Thanks (y) Okay, so nothing seems obviously wrong with the QAM scans. Unfortunately most of your old files from the successful scan have been wiped. One key thing to keep in mind: your tuner is a hybrid tuner. That means you can only use it to receive the live source or the QAM channels, not both at once. That restriction applies for all software including WMC and MP. In MP such cards should be configured according to the instructions here: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/Hybrid_Cards[/url] When you do that, MP allows you to switch seamlessly between the QAM and live sources. When you scan QAM, make sure you haven't been viewing the live source in WMC. If you have, close WMC and restart the MP TV service (the "manual control" thing). Then please try this: 1. Open TV Server configuration. 2. Navigate to the tuner list, select the QAM tuner "Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod", then click "edit": [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers#Edit_Tuner_Settings[/url] 3. Set preferred network provider to ATSC. 4. Save and OK. 5. Rescan QAM standard. Regarding the live source... Presumably you're adding the sources via the analog scanning page and clicking "add s-video channels"? If not, that is how you want to do it. While you're there you should check out this section: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/5_Scan_Analog#Settings[/url] Since you're based in the US, values should probably be NTSC_M, 720x480, and 29.97 fps. Setting the right values here should fix the green bar. After you change these settings, restart the TV service again just to be certain they take effect. When you do click that "add s-video channels" button, it will probably add more than one channel in the TV Channels section. You can find these channels by searching for #. CVBS#X on Y channels are the composite (yellow) RCA/banana inputs; S-Video#X on Y channels are the s-video inputs. You'll need to use a process of trial and error to figure out which of these channels shows the video and audio from the live feed. Finally, I see MP is picking up and using a Cyberlink video encoder and the ATI audio encoder for the live source. I'd recommend having a look here: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/06_General#Software_Encoders_Tab[/url] Make sure the ATI encoders are at the top of each list. If they're not, use the up/down buttons to move 'em up. Hope that helps... mm [/QUOTE]
