[QUOTE="johnson636, post: 37754, member: 18286"] Yes, I'm new to MP, as a matter of fact, I'm new to this whole capture thing. I thought it would be excellent to be able to watch and record tv to pc. I've tried a number of apps with no success; it seems as if no one wants to help. I've been searching the forums before posting any threads, trying to help myself first, but now I'm at a stand still and need a little help from someone who's more knowledgable of MP and TV capturing. Specs 3.4GHZ (P4) 1gig of RAM 7800GT 250GB WD pvr-500 (Hauppauge) XP Home Framework 1.1 or something like that I tried using the sticky on EPG for USA. I first installed MP. Then I create a Zap2it account; it shows all my channels in the list. I Then unzip XMLTV into the directory that the sticky requires. Now I noticed something after browsing through the xmltv folder; In the xmltv directory there's a folder thats labled "share." In it there are more folders: tv_grab_au, tv_grab_be, tv_grab_ch, tv_grab_uk_rt, etc. Weird thing is there is not a folder labeled tv_grab_na_dd; I'm assuming that this one is for North America. Now in the MP setup it recognizes my pvr-500 (which is connected via S-Video to my STB) Hauppauge a and b. Now I go to Television > Program Guide and uncheck the time zome thing and set zone to -6. I go to scheduler and select tv_grab_na_dd from the drop down box, but like I said earlier, there isn't a folder thats labeled tv_grab_na_dd. Then I click "Run Grabber" The --configure command for xmltv starts, but I notice it showing refference to tv_grab_uk_rt; I didn't choose that one :o The process go something like: CH1 1% = CH2 2%== and so on after it reaches 100% the prompt just stays open. I close it and open up MP, go to My TV and it has nothing but a little screen that is black; it has nothing showing. But at the bottom it is show the name of a show with descriptions. I go to TV Guide and the channels listed are not even close. I've tried other apps that did show tv on my pc, so my tuner is working. I can use Windows movie maker to capture along with another app, but they both have limited options. I know the card is installed correctly. If I go to autotune within MP, All I get is static or snow. I've posted three thread and there has been only one reply. Two of the threads show that they've been veiwed several times, but no reply. Please, if you have the knowledge and can help me, don't just read my post and then close the page without replying; I am trying to help myself, but I need a little assistance. [/QUOTE]
