Hello,
I'm having trouble with my analog TV, but not my digital DVB-T card.
To be frank - everything works in my TV server...

I installed my DVB-T card in my Homeserver and installed the drivers, TVserver 1 RC3, FFDshow, AC3filter. Then i set up XMLTV plugin and grabbed the guidedata for my digital channels.
I then set up all my local computers with the mediaportal client and added the homeserver as their TVserver and provider of TV and guide data.

This also works - way better than I had expected :)

I then decided go all the way and kill my MS mediacenter and move the analog card to my homeserver. I would then reformat my Vista MC and reinstall with XP and Mediaportal client 1 RC3. This also works really well.
My homeserver on the other hand found my Hauppauge 500 card right away and hauppauge has a driveronly install tool and it found my cards and installed the drivers without any other programs.

TV server scanned my analog card and found 40+ channels (on each tuner as it is a dual card) - i then set up the guide data for each channel on my TV server and added them to my setup...

But....only DVB-T channels works!
whenever i tune into an analog channel from any client...it times out after 30 seconds and comes up with "no audio/video detected"

The TVserver TV.log reports "Card not Idle" but states in manual control, that it is idle.
