[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1150073, member: 82144"] Hello again :) In answer to your question: that's up to you. If you don't want to see them in MediaPortal then you can either uncheck or delete them. Note: "CVBS" are the composite inputs. Sorry, I don't understand. Presumably one is the input on the card's input/output plate (ie. the one you're using) and the other is for the white break-out connector on the card. "...on 3" means "from tuner with ID 3"... which means it is normal, because all your inputs [I]are[/I] coming from the same tuner/card. Note: you can rename the channels to whatever you like in the TV Channels section of TV Server configuration. As above. The other channels correspond with other inputs on the card. If they're not connected to anything then it's no surprise they don't work. You can either uncheck or delete them. Okay. This may be due to a combination of things including: [LIST=1] [*]Video standard, aspect ratio and frame rate settings (yes, you're right :) ). You can modify these and see if they help. If I were you I would reboot after each change to ensure the change is applied [I]before[/I] testing. I wouldn't bother trying anything other than NTSC_M or PAL_B for video standard, 25 or 29.97 fps for frame rate, or one of [ 768x576, 720x576, 720x480, 704x576, 704x480 ] for aspect ratio. The others are [B]highly[/B] [B]unlikely[/B] to be correct/relevant. [*]The encoders you're using. You can try to use Configuration.exe to uninstall MainConcept and install something else (remember to reboot after changing).

I've seen similar things before when the aspect-ratio/frame-rate/video-standard combination is not compatible with the encoder. I've described what you can do/try above.
