I just received an analog tv card to watch tv on my HTPC.

Now I am installing Mediaportal 1.1.0 RC2.
Is a TV server required to watch tv for a single computer?

    Yes, we call it a singleseat setup, think of it more as a tv service, which is independent of mediaportal, that's only used for viewing or setting recordings.

    I installed the software and it seems the tv card is recognized.

    Strangly, when I click on the tv card at TV Server and choose The Netherlands as country, the tv scan channels returns there's no signal.

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

    To be fair the normal uninstall is usually more than sufficient. I regularly uninstall and reinstall MP 1 as part of the testing process and only very rarely have I needed to use the manual procedure posted by @CyberSimian to overcome the error you ran into. I also believe there is a procedure to repair the MySQL install in the event...

    Just did an update of my system from Win 7 / MP 1.25 to Win 10 / MP 1.31 on a single seat system and came across a problem with the tv server startup being erratic. Approx 50% of the time on PC reboot from scratch the tv server process was showing "starting" but would never start and consequently neither would MP or MP Server Config...
