[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 620464, member: 56239"] I'd noticed on my ATi 650 Combo USB that there were times I had a difficult time getting it recognized, or should I say RE-recognized by the OS once MP would send it funny inquiries - or so that's how I think about it... whether it was MP getting its flags/settings askew, or something in the USB tuner, I found I would need to cycle (external) power and disconnect the USB before the OS was good. And, if the OS wasn't recognizing it, neither could TV-Server! So... go slow and try to assure the tuner is checking into the Device Manager as it should. If you're only trying to get analog then disable the ATSC tuner in TV-Server. Also, disable all radio tuners and the IPTV (???) that shows up in the default MP 1.1.0.0 RC3. These components just clog up the logs. In summary, verify the tuner is accessible in the TV-Server -- OH, occasionally you should click the OK button and close/re-enter TV-Server a couple o' times before a tuner is recognized! It also wouldn't hurt to reboot your system before you press on... You could also use Manual Control to STOP Services, wait 30 seconds, START Services before trying to scan channels! You're running your cable provider's coax to the analog input jack, right? And, you don't have any other applications trying to attach themselves to your tuner, right?
