Novice User Here.

How do I set up using S-Video? I have a PCTV HD PCI card and it works with their crappy software.

Please help!!

in mediaportal config you use the screen selector and select the secondary screen - which is the s-video.

Exit MediaPortal
Open MediaPortal Configuration
Select General
See the bottom tick box and the dropdown box just below it

I am having the same problem. The only way I can get MP to show up on my TV is to make it the "Primary display" in Display Settings in XP.

Nevermind, I got it to work. First, you setup your TV to be your 2nd display in Display Settings (Windows), but also select "Extend my Windows desktop to this monitor". This will tell MP that you have a 2nd display. Then, you can select your TV as your Primary display for MP to start on.
