[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1051631, member: 82144"] Hello again Greg No problem. :) It sounds like the inputs you're referring to are inputs to the monitor/display, not inputs to the TV tuner. What I see in the log files is: So the tuner card/chip support additional inputs. It is just a question of whether they're available to you. If available, I'd expect them to be located very close to the RF input... but maybe they're simply not available since it is an all in one system. Might pay to check out the manual. Please refer to the video and audio source fields in the screenshot in our wiki here: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels/Add_or_Edit_a_Channel#Analog_tuning_details[/url] Currently when you create channels you select tuner and automatic. For s-video you'd select "SVHS #1" and "Line In #1"; for composite you'd select "CVBS #1" and "Line In #1". Have you considered a networked CableCARD tuner like the HDHomeRun PRIME? I think you'd be far better off in the long run with that solution... but I guess it depends on what you're willing to spend and whether premium channels like HBO are important to you. Okay, no worries. :) If you've gone to the effort of setting up the channels manually and configured EPG then you're honestly only a hop away from a position where you could use MP as if it was the STB. The only modification you need to make to get it to work now would be to tweak those manually created channels: either change the video and audio source if you switch to s-video or composite, or enter the frequency value 61250000 Hz. That's it. Should take only a few minutes. No. You'll only be able to map them to the analog tuner. If you've done that, it should be working. Unlikely.
