    Generally speaking for us to help you
    we need as many information as possible.

    What version of MP do you use ? (MP and TvServer?)
    Did you have a look at the wiki ?
    Home - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

    Also it is always good to uninstall any application that
    might block your tv card. I don't know how SageTV handles tv cards
    but I would advise you to uninstall it for now.

    Same Issue

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue - i.e - I have SageTV, which works, but is buggy, so would like to use MediaPortal. I installed, but in Configuration, don't know where to scan for channels. I referred to the wiki, but it's not too helpful. The wiki says "Add/Edit Capture Cards", but I do not see that on my screen at all. Do I first need to start up the server or something? I opted for MySQL as my server, but I don't know if it still needs configuration. What is the default password for the server, so that I can test the connection?

    Also, is there a step-by-step config guide somewhere for n00bs like me? All i wanna do is watch TV from my Hauppauge HVR-1600 running Windows XP sp3. Please someone help - if you need more info, I will gratefully provide.

    Thanks,
    CHero

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
