TV setup not working (1 Viewer)

[mm1352000]

After reading your post I did get 4 TV channels added and even Got the EPG to work...

Nice - good job!

It that not true?

Yes, that should work. Most likely the problem is a playback issue rather than a source issue.

How were you testing?
If you were testing with preview in TV Server configuration, it is quite likely there is nothing wrong... except that the wrong codecs were selected. The best way to test is with MediaPortal where you can control the codecs that are used. To that end, make sure you have visited this section of MP configuration:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...nfiguration/9_Codecs_and_Renderer/1_TV_Codecs

Quick setup would be to install the LAV codecs (this can be done via the MediaPortal Extension Installer) and select them for all options... except for the audio renderer option, which should usually be set to default DirectSound device (which is the default PC audio output). It'd also probably be a good idea to ensure that hardware accelerated video decoding (DXVA) is enabled in the LAV video codec settings.

If you want to take the time to really get things sorted now, a good guide is this one:

OK, I have the audio working now. TV, Recorded TV and movies.
After your direction I picked the audio codex that worked for me. Next step is to finish up with EPG and then on tow the IR blaster configuration.
I really appreciate your help in getting MP to the point where I can it to watch and record TV.

Thanks
