I'm running into an issue with getting the tv working on media portal. I have my media center set up behind my cable box. I know I need to get the ir working in order to change the channel on cable box but right now I am unable to get anything to display at all.

I have my cable box on and set to a channel that I know displays something because it works when I hook my tv to the coax cable. I did the auto scan on the Media Portal Setup and it found two channels 3 and 48. I know that channel 3 is what my tv needs to be set to to get the signal from the cable box, but when I go to "my tv" (in media portal) the screen is black like it's not getting a signal. Is there some extra configuration I need to do to the channel 3 to get it to display something? Changing frequency or something?

My setup is the same as your.. cablebox conected to tvcard (Kworld MCETV200), i connected the cablebox to the tvcard and scan for channels, as your card mine found channel 3 too, the one used for the cablebox for send channels to the TV, but when i enter to MP -> MyTV i got the black screen and "no signal found" message.

What was your fix for this ?
