Hi all,
I am a new to media portal and these boards. I apologize in advance for the information
I have not provided and or if I posted to the wrong board. It has been a long on frustrating day

I prepared my pc and installed MP. I have been playing around with it learning while
waiting for my tv tuner to arrive (silicon dust hd homerun).

Both tuners have scanned and picked up ota stations.
Most but not all stations with good signals have sound.
There is no picture.

When I power on television in MP I get this message "no free card available"

I suspect my video card because I cannot update the drivers.
After I update and reboot the screen goes black when windows opens.

I appreciate any thoughts or direction.

Steve

Update - problem solved

I succeeded in getting television I think by changing the tv server ports from default 554 to 5554.
I saw that solution on another post for a related problem.
