[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1102327, member: 82144"] Only the same walkthrough I've already linked: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cablecard-tuner-support-for-mediaportal-1.112585/[/url] If that is not what you're looking for then please be more specific about what you're trying to achieve. Hmmm, I'm not sure how to respond. I guess my one word answer would be "no"... but more to the point: there should be no need to do that, and no need to even think about asking that question. From my perspective: at the most basic level, your scanned channels should "just work" in MediaPortal (assuming you've configured the TV codec preferences appropriately). In other words, the biggest hurdle should be getting the channels scanned in correctly. After they're scanned in you should have no problems viewing them. The fact that you're asking this question suggests you're having a lot of trouble [I]even after the channels are scanned in correctly[/I]. From my perspective that's not expected and far from ideal. I wholeheartedly agree that we should try to keep this simple. Let's take on one problem at a time and solve them step by step. ...starting with direct and concise answers to your questions: Your existing MediaPortal TV codec configuration seems to be fine. Microsoft DTV-DVD and LAV are imminently sensible choices. Therefore I would say: no, do not play with the codecs. However: yes, do try a few channels that are part of your subscription (because they are the channels you can expect to work) in MediaPortal (because that is the best way to test). If you find channels are not working, post fresh log files (watchdog/debug-tool option 1) and let me take a look. Based on the logs I can tell you whether it is necessary to revisit codec settings. Yes. Post fresh log files using the standard MP support process: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/3_Forums/2_Log_Files[/url] Make sure to specify the name and number of the channel(s) you try (please, no more than 5), how long the changes appeared to take, and what you expect as a more reasonable channel change time. Based on your comments I will take a look at the log files and determine what is taking the most time during tuning, then advise what you can do to address. In short: no. That will have minimal effect. In the order of fractions of a second. Yes. MediaPortal configuration, TV/radio section. [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/22_TV/1_TV_Client#Channel_numbers[/url] Tick "show channel numbers". You should also untick "select channel by index" if you expect enter the channel's number with your remote or keyboard to cause MP to switch to that channel. If you have used the "add SID..." option in TV Server configuration then you'll have to delete all your channels and rescan to get rid of those [wrong] numbers. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
