[QUOTE="LCF, post: 1139479, member: 153090"] I should start by saying that I'm not especially tech savvy...and a little confused. I have been using WMC on my Windows 8.1 PC...primarily as a DVR, and hope to do the same with Media Portal. I have a USB tuner connected to the cable from the wall...which supplies about 100 analog stations from my local cable provider (Grandecom). I've read around, but I'm having trouble deciphering which method I should be using to import these stations. In TV set up, I can see Analog WinTV HVR 950 Tuner (as well as ATSC Win TV HVR 950 BDA Tuner) listed, but after trying different configurations for scanning channels, I've got nothing. I don't even think I'm getting a signal. So my questions are: Could you point me to the directions for the settings I SHOULD be using for my setup AND what will be my best option for a guide to use in future recording? I'm assuming I won't be able to get my local guide, right? I really appreciate your responding as simply as you can....for the simple-minded! Thanks so much![DOUBLEPOST=1434337219][/DOUBLEPOST]I should add that when I highlight the Analog WinTV HVR 950 Tuner with source as Cable, and try to scan for channels, I get this message: Unable to Scan: Please install a supported audio/video encoder for you software analog card.
