[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 751376, member: 82144"] Hi and welcome chesterusob :) Yes the RCA input (composite or component) should be supported as long as the card doesn't require a connection to the soundcard for the audio. The card will require software encoders to be installed, and that can be tricky. Please read [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/5_Scan_Analog/Software_Encoding_Card_Setup"]this wiki page[/URL] for some background. If you don't set up a blaster then you'll only be able to watch whatever the STB is tuned to. Simply use the "add s-video channels" button in TV Server configuration in the analog tuner scanning section to add the appropriate channel. On the other hand, if your card has a built in blaster then you may be able to set MP up to control your STB - when you change channels in MP then MP could tell the STB to change channels. That setup is much more involved. If you want to try that then be prepared to spend significant time configuring and setting up. I'd recommend that you get a basic setup working first.
