[QUOTE="mackandall, post: 86231, member: 25930"] Thaks for the help so far guys. I dont mean to be bother or get any one annoyed but for some reason my problem still persists. I get a tv guide with all my channels listed but when i select them the capture card tires to tune them instead of media portal doing so via the serial connection to my box.
