[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 392686, member: 25562"] Yeah, the software that comes with capture devices is usually pretty terrible. A couple of other (probably stupid) questions: When you use the Pinnacle software you are able to tune QAM channels, correct? It isn't picking up analog? You say you scanned on all frequencies. Do you mean that you used the pull down menu on TVServer Config to select each option and rescan? I have found that Comcast in Michigan has QAM available as "QAM Standard" only. Also, in the MP TVServer configuration window, have you selected the correct input? I honestly can't remember what the choices are right now since I'm away from home and haven't done it in a while, but I recall having to tell the scanner to look at the tuner for channels rather than SVid or some other port. You will need to point it to the proper device to get a good scan. I just noticed this thread [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/newcomers-forum-240/pinnacle-72e-usb-tuner-stick-56211/[/url] Have you seen it? It's a different model, but it looks like the Pinnacle software doesn't play nice with MediaPortal. People are reporting better luck by uninstalling everything but the device driver itself. [/QUOTE]
