[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 986942, member: 82144"] Thanks. :) Okay, so first off it looks like you're attempting to use the HVR-1250. I can't see you ever attempting to use the HVR-2250 for analog TV or radio. Not a problem, however I would recommend the 2250 over the 1250 as it will give you faster first tune, be more reliable, and use less CPU. Hands down winner in my book, but that's your choice. I further see you've completed a full analog TV scan with without issue. This at least shows you have software encoders installed and working. Good. Now to the issue... According to the configuration file for your 1250 tuner, it doesn't support either FM or AM radio. To determine this I'm looking at the "<radioMode>0</radioMode>" element in the Configuration-3-Hauppauge WinTV 885 Tuner.xml file (XML files can be opened in any text editor such as notepad or MS Word). If the value were 2 it would support FM; if it were 4 it would support AM; if it were 6 it would support both FM and AM. That current radio mode value of zero has been retrieved from the tuner itself when TV Server first tried to use it. So this suggests that the HVR-1250 does not actually support FM radio. Strange considering that WinTV 7 works. So what can you do to get FM working? Lots of things! 1. Try the 2250 tuners. I'm 90% certain these will work. 2. Delete the Configuration ... xml files and try to scan again. TV Server will automatically recreate them so there is absolutely no harm in doing this. This will have the effect of rechecking and resetting the radioMode value. 3. Manually edit the XML file mentioned above and change "<radioMode>0</radioMode>" to "<radioMode>4</radioMode>". Note that I don't recommend option 3 to the casual reader. If the tuner really didn't support FM radio and you tried to use it as an FM tuner... well, bad things could possibly happen. I'm saying it might work, but the driver and hardware might not like it. [B]If you try option 3 it is at your own risk.[/B] mm [/QUOTE]
