[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 757126, member: 82144"] My experience is that AVIVO encoders can be used with almost any tuner - I highly recommend them. 1.2.0b supports the AVIVO encoders. You don't have to build it - you can download it from -->[URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/news/mediaportal-120-beta-released"]here[/URL]<--. You can do that as soon as you've installed the encoder and followed the steps [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/5_Scan_Analog"]here[/URL] to create some channels from the s-video input (click the "add s-video channels" button). You can do that straight away too with a manual recording if you put the STB on the right channel before you go to bed. The key point is that you can't get guide (EPG) data into MP without creating channels as per point (2) in my previous post, which means you can't tell MP to "record programme x". You would have to say "start recording now..." or "record from time x to time y" - not exactly convenient. Okay. If you don't want MP to control the STB (ie. you set the channel on the STB before you go to bed... or whatever) then there is no need for step (4). I think you still need (or want) steps (1), (2) and (3). Yes, timeshifting will work fine with software encoders. That is the reason they are required - to take the analog signal and turn it into something digital that can be stored on an HDD (ie. timeshifted or recorded). ;) mm [/QUOTE]
