Problem Importing Channels (1 Viewer)

[mm1352000]

Still it's not showing as installed in TVConfig.

It would require at least a TV Server config restart after installation for the change to be picked up. It may even require a system restart.

though it appears to have installed under Programs in the Control Panel. I don't suppose that is matters that during the installation it says that it is for XP/Vista, yet I'm on 8.1?

Sorry, I honestly don't know.

Maybe I should contact Hauppauge tomorrow?

I'm not sure that they'd be able to help.
The other possibility is to try to install the 3rd party encoders from here:

@mm1352000 maybe encoders require additional registering with regsvr32?
Wonder if it's present in win 8.1

I have requested the 3rd party encoders you suggest. If there's anything that I should try in association with Edalex's comment, let me know. Just so weird that WMC is working fine with this tuner!

You can already get them from here:

No, there's nothing.

Okay, didn't look far enough into the thread to see it had been reposted after it had been taken down at some point...in any case, the good news is that I seem to be making a bit of progress . After downloading and installing the 3rd party encoders, I was able to get a signal and scan for channels. I believe it has now found the bulk of the analog channels.
Now to my next hang up! I opened Media Portal after scanning the channels. If I go to TV and Channels, I can see the channels listed (though randomly, not in numerical order), but when I attempt to turn TV on OR choose one of the channels from the channel list, everything freezes and I have to "Task Manager" to get out. I know I am likely not doing something right here. I have looked a bit at the forums, believe the TV is enabled and such.
Can you look at the attached log and see anything...or perhaps suggest what I might be doing wrong?

Getting there, slowly but surely! If I can just get the TV going, I'll attack the guide next...
