[QUOTE="MacMini, post: 213816, member: 20587"] It seems like TV is the weak link of Media Portal. I see a number of posts on forums like AVS, where users who love Media Portal, are forced to abandon it for MCE or some other front-end with a working TV module. Well, I am getting to that point too:-( I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get TV to work. I have uninstalled and installed countless of times, read posts, searched, updated drivers.... So, far, it just doesn't work. The sad part is, that there doesn't seem to focus on fixing these issues, at least from what I've seen. For instance, I've posted my logs relating to My TV here [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/unable_create_graph_device-t32297.html[/url]. Ten days later, there is not a single view of the log file! As to TV Server, here is a thread [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/no_video_audio_detected-t21902.html?p=213301#post213301[/url], with close to seven and a half thousand views, with a problem tagged as a bug, where agin, the only person who seems to have looked at the logs posted and still trying to figure out the problem, is a nice guy from Germany who has been on the forum for less than three months! What's the point of posting all these logs and describing the issues, if nobody looks at them? So, yesterday I read about the new HD extender from Sage and downloaded the trial. Sage is has a butt-ugly, clumsy interface. But guess what? It took less than 5 minutes to set up, it found my cards, downloaded the guide and I was able to watch TV without breaking a sweat. I am just venting. It has been a very frustrating experience. At the same time, I am truly grateful to all who contribute, for free, to make Media Portal the best front end, IMO. If only the damned TV part worked, I'd never think of abandoning it. What's the big issue with the TV module? [/QUOTE]
