[QUOTE="Contours, post: 1148260, member: 154230"] Well, I've made some headway ... but the situation I described in my first post still exists. [B]The step forward[/B] is that I'm able to play and record content using the software that came on the EasyCap CD. At least the basic components now work. But I can't find any way to channel the USB input directly to MediaPortal, which is my goal. [B]The step back[/B] is that Device Manager no longer shows EasyCap as an "OEM TV Tuner" ... so Media Portal's TV Server no longer shows it as an Analog Tuner, so I can't scan for channels. I'm including a diagram of what is working ... with a big indication of what seems to be the missing element. Along the way, I did download and install some recommended software (K-Lite Codec Pack), but nothing changed. Tonight, I'll try to capture the Watchdog files. In the meantime, if anyone knows what the Missing Piece is, please let me know.
