When I click "Preview" in the TV Server Configuration->TV Channels, nothing happens -- no preview window, no error message, program does not crash or freeze, nothing. If I run MediaPortal and go to "TV" and "TV On", the little white square appears on the "TV On" button, but the TV remains black and says "No data available".


I found the following in tv.txt and error.txt:

tv.txt: 

[10]: Controller: epg stop

[SetupTv]: Exception in setuptv

[SetupTv]: System.Threading.ThreadExceptionEventArgs

[10]: Controller: epg start


error.txt:

[SetupTv]: Exception System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Vista Media Center plays TV without any problems, so I think the card itself and drivers are okay.


I only have NTSC/analog channels, and have disabled the ATSC tuner on my card in TV Server Config. Under "Manual Control", the Analog card reads "idle" and the ATSC reads "disabled".


Mediaportal install went off without a hitch. Configured Mediaportal, then configured TV Server. Tuning found all analog channels.


In TV Server Config, the card is recognized as a Happauge WinTV 418 Tuner, but from what I've read this is normal.


My log-files are attached. Thanks for the support!
