[QUOTE="Mike Page, post: 982674, member: 139300"] Hi guys, A slightly unusual problem from deepest darkest Indonesia - any thoughts welcome. I have a shiny new HTPC which is brilliant and which I built (in part) to replace my old Pioneer HDD DVR. I am running MP 1.3 (I also have WMC and XBMC on my Win 7 box, but MP is clearly the winner in my mind, and unless forced, I will be sticking with it). Here in Indonesia, free-to-air TV is not really my cup of tea, but we have an Indovision satellite with a STB attached. Unfortunately, it only has composite outputs (yellow video and left and right audio). I have a composite to HDMI upscaler, so I get a reasonable HDMI signal (no HD here). So instead of getting a TV tuner card, I got an Avermedia C127 capture card and plugged in the HDMI from in Indovision box. Voila! Indovision into my HTPC and onto my TV via Avermedia's software - wonderful! (Of course I still change channels on the Indovision box, and there is no EPG, but small victories). But it seems that MP doesn't support capture cards (except a couple of Hauppage items like the Collossus - wish I'd known that before). So no matter what, MP just doesn't see the Avermedia card at all. Ok, so I need a tuner card - no problem. But I won't be actually tuning any TV with it - I just need one that MP recognises and that has an HDMI input that I can plug the Indovision box into. I know it will mean using the Indovision box to change channel at the appropriate time AND scheduling MP to record at the same time, but I can live with that (it's how it was with the Pioneer anyway). PCI-e Tuners with HDMI inputs seem pretty scarce, so I wonder if anyone has any suggestions on a card that might fit the bill. Thanks a bunch. Mike [/QUOTE]
