After installing TV-server, connecting to the database (succesfull) and running the "TV-Server Configuration", no server is visible in the console.

Looking in the error.log file, the following is recorded:

------------

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

Currently the system is installed with Windows XP professional SP2 (32bit). I have the same problem with Windows 2003.. I already tried reinstalling the tv-server, but everytime it has the same result..

nvm. Found the solution in https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/1-0-1-final-svn-builds-314/tv-server-1-0-1-no-tv-cards-detected-57793/index2.html#post403808

1. Stop TV-Service / SetupTV,

2. extract those to dll's into "MediaPortal TV Server" root folder, will overwrite 2 old ones,

3. Delete the Configuration_tuner.xml's in "%ProgramData%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\AnalogCard" for vista users & "Documents and Settings\All Users\Programdata\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\AnalogCard" for XP users,

4. Start TV-Service again & SetupTV, it should now work.
