[QUOTE="TomPP, post: 749852, member: 111782"] Thanks for your quick response. 1. The TV cards are listed in the Device Manager under Sound and Video Controllers. The system has been shutdown and rebooted frequently and the cards still appear. When I shutdown and remove the cards they disappear. After shutting down again, plugging them and rebooting they re-appear. Also WinTV7 uses the cards to scan for channels and displays TV without problems. Thus it would appear that the cards are definitely known to the OS. 2. Initially I had been using 1.1.2 without a problem. It was only when I UPGRADED to 1.2.0 beta that things went wrong. The cards disappeared from TV-Server at that point. 3. After your comments I did the following: a. I uninstalled 1.1.2. I chose the "Full MP products cleanup" in the options which I would assume removes all traces of previous installations. b. I shutdown and removed the cards and then rebooted. c. I installed (fresh) 1.2.0 beta specifying that I wanted to view TV. During the installation I got the message, "Failed to upgrade database!". During the TV-Server part of the installation a "Setup Database connection" window opened. It had checked MYSQL5 at the top and in the various dataentry boxes gave in order Tom-Media-PC (my media PC name), MySQL5, MpTvDb, root and asked for a password. I tried the suggested "MediaPortal" but that was not accepted. I then carried on by simply closing the window. The installation then completed. d After that I tried to start TV-Server Config. It gave again the message "Failed to upgrade database!" and would not start. e. I reinstalled the cards after another shutdown and again tried to use TV-Server. I got the same "Failed to upgrade database!" message and refusal to start. f. Finally I uninstalled 1.2.0 beta and reinstalled with the same outcome. Sorry to be so long winded but I wanted to make clear precisely what was going on. Comments appreciated. I finally managed to sort out the problem. The key was the MSQL5 database. When I did yet another fresh install of 1.2.0 beta I managed to get "MediaPortal" accepted as a password. I was then able to delete the old database and a new one appeared to be automatically generated. After that the cards appeared in TV-Server and I was able to do a channel scan. Things are now back to normal! Thanks for the various comments which got me moving in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
