[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1149993, member: 82144"] No problem, that's what we're here for. :) Ahhh, okay. This means you should be using the analog tuner ("Analog Hauppauge Win TV 885 Tuner"). To get around the message you previous encountered (about installing an encoder), the quickest solution is probably to install the package from here: [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/solution-for-all-most-software-encoder-based-tv-cards.90355/page-8#post-1052944[/URL] Note: you have a Hauppauge tuner. Normally I'd be recommending to ensure you had Hauppauge's "SoftMCE" package installed, as it is meant to supply the encoders you need. However, a few people have reported that MediaPortal is not currently recognising the encoders that the latest versions supply. Hence the recommendation for the alternative package.
