[QUOTE="Darrarski, post: 239157, member: 68541"] There so some important audio issue that should be noticed. Pinnacle PCTV 110i can send audio by PCI or by additional internal cable connected to tv tuner and sound card. When you using this additional internal cable, you can control volume in system audio mixer, but THERE IS NO WAY to use time shifting feature that way.

Anyway, I have my PCTV tuner connected via this internal cable with my sound card, and I can control live tv (not time-shifted) sound volume in system mixer, by changing CD-line volume value. But when using MediaPortal, there is no sound at all from tv tuner, not only from PCI, but from CD-line too.
