Right, where to begin?
Firstly I'm using RC2, purely because RC3 won't work on my system due to WMP 11 been needed and me not wanting it. Also, apologies if this belongs elsewhere - I really could not figure out if this belonged in the normal area or the Tv area or what.
Anyway, I'm trying to set up my TV card so that in media protal and can simply go 'My TV' and well, watch TV! lol.
The card is a Compro Videomate T750, I've done some looking around and I have added some stuff to the CaptureCardDefinitions xml file in order for MP to see the card itself.
However here is where my obvious lack of knowledge becomes apparent. I click on 'MY TV' and it asks me to specify the Host name of the master TV service....I have no idea what it's on about. So I just hit enter and left what was there (the PC"s network name) and it comes up with a message box that says it was unable to connect to the TV Server or the TV Database. Naturally I assume this has something to do with the TV-Server Configuration executable that popped up when I installed MP. I have run this configuration but when I hit Test it decides I don't have the right password or the correct username but frankly I never had one to start with!
Clearly I am completely lost and have no idea what I'm doing. I have done a search around the forums and can't seem to find anything dumbed down or specific enough to fix my problem. At the moment I am not overly concerned with recording TV, I just want to be able to watch it without having to leave MP.
If someone could point me to a post that would solve my problem, or just give me a quick what's what I'd be greatly appreciative.
Regards,
Matt.
