[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 942507, member: 82144"] Right, that should make it quite easy. 1. Buy HD-PVR or Colossus. 2. Install hardware into server PC; download and install latest Hauppauge drivers. 3. Connect STB to device, ideally using HDMI (only possible with Colossus and if STB does not have copy protection on HDMI - unlikely) or component+S/PDIF (red/green/blue + [URL='http://www.dataclean.ca/store/images/PremiumTosLinkCableMetallic.jpg']optical/toslink[/URL]). For your reference: [URL='http://www.hauppauge.com.sg/pics/colossus_diagram.jpg']this[/URL] and [URL='http://www.hauppage.com/pics/hd_pvr_connector_input_large.jpg']this[/URL]. 4. Install MediaPortal on server. Follow the instructions here and just follow your nose: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/12_Installation/1_Deploy_Tool/0_Select_Options[/url] Make sure you say "yes - I will use MediaPortal to watch TV". I'd suggest to go with an advanced installation because it gives you the choice to install as "singleseat" or "dedicated TV-Server" as per the option -->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/12_Installation/1_Deploy_Tool/2_Advanced_Installation#TV_Setup']here[/URL]<--. Basically that means you can decide whether the server will also be used to watch TV or whether it will only be used to stream to clients. Let MP install the database for you. It doesn't really matter whether you choose MySQL or SQL Server. 5. Configure MP TV Server. This really only entails a few tweaks in TV Server configuration (shortcut on the Desktop). First, come -->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers']here[/URL]<-- and check that the device is listed. If I recall correctly, you should see reference to a "... crossbar ...". That is the device. If you don't see it, you haven't installed the drivers properly. Note: you'll likely see three items in the list; you can ignore the radio webstream and DVB-IP items. Go to the scan section for the device, which should look like -->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/7_Scan_Analog']this[/URL]<--. Click "add S-Video channels". Now go to the "TV Channels" section. You should have half a dozen or so channels in there. Each channel represents an input on the device. Use the preview button to find the channel that has both audio and video and delete the rest. Alternatively (and this might be easier), edit the first channel details (click edit, select row in bottom area, click edit - you should see something like -->[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']this[/URL]<--) and make sure the audio and video source settings are correct as per the input-to-setting mapping details at the bottom of -->[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/hauppauge-hd-pvr-colossus-support.94850/']this[/URL]<-- post. For example, if you connect the STB to component and S/PDIF inputs on the Colossus then select "YRYBY #1" as video source and "SPDIF In #2" as audio source. Optionally go to the "timeshifting" section [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/08_Timeshifting#Folders']"folders" tab[/URL] and select the folder that timeshift files will be stored in. 6. Install MediaPortal on clients. You can follow the same instructions as for the server: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/12_Installation/1_Deploy_Tool/0_Select_Options[/url] Again, make sure you say "yes - I will use MediaPortal to watch TV". This time you definitely want to go with an advanced installation. Make sure you choose "MediaPortal Client". 7. Install LAV codecs. This is technically an optional step, but it makes life a lot easier. Open the MediaPortal extension installer. Shortcut should be on the desktop. Search for the LAV filters extension and install. 8. Configure MediaPortal Open MediaPortal configuration (shortcut on the Desktop). Go to the TV->TV Client section (-->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/22_TV/TV_Client']this[/URL]<--) and enter the name of the server PC in the host name field. Go to the "Codecs and Renderer" section "TV Codecs" tab (-->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/9_Codecs_and_Renderer/1_TV_Codecs']this[/URL]<--) and select the LAV option for all settings. 9. Test Open MediaPortal (shortcut on the Desktop). Go to the TV section. Select channels. You should see the same list of channels that you had in TV Server configuration. Select the channel that you configured. It should start to play the content from the receiver. If it doesn't work, make sure your firewall configuration allows MediaPortal to access the server. The installer should sort this out for you automatically if you only use Windows' firewall. Otherwise you need to do it yourself. Don't hesitate to ask if you hit any snags. mm [/QUOTE]
