[QUOTE="the_trooper, post: 489382, member: 95554"] I have found out the cause to my problem thanks to everyones help & alot of aches & pains ... somehow on my desktop pc MediaPortal works, both pc's have the same version of windows installed (for testing purposes) from the same CD, yet it doesnt work on my htpc! Go figure!! I borrowed a friends version of Windows Server 2003 SP2, installed windows & minimal software incl dvbfix. Installed pre-req install files & MediaPortal itself. Within Tv-Server Config, Added Analog & DVB-T to a Hybrid card called 'Leadtek', went in to the Analog card section & chose Australia, scanned channels & to my delight it found some!! Woooohooo!!! So i immediately added an input called CVBS, channel 1, then mapped to 'Analog' (which was created when I did the Analog scan, with my other OS installed it didnt do this!). Went back to Channels & previewed CVBS....... drummmmmm rollllllllllllllllll....... it worked!!! HAHAHAHAHA... so awesome! :D So i now know it had to do with Windows itself... or at least i know there was/is something missing with every install from my XP CD.. i still dont know why it works on my other pc but not this one... its a mystery . . it would be good to know though.. BIG THANX :thx: to all who have helped along the way..... p.s. I will be trying another install from a different CD for XP, it seems XP is better suited for MP. If i dont write back u'll know 2003 or another XP install CD has fixed the problem! :) [/QUOTE]
