    If the video capture input is "software encoding" (and most are), then the answer is no .... :(

    However, if the video capture input is "hardware encoding", then it should already be supported. I don't know what type the Winfast PVR2000 is, but I strongly suspect that it is software encoding.

    The PVR2000 is a hardware card ... I find no way to access the line in within this software?

    Have you tried adding it as an external channel via the "Add CVBS/SVHS" button in MediaPortal Setup -> Television -> TV Channels?

    Thank you...
    Much apeciated
    now how do you get increments of 5 minutes for recording rather than 30.. IE I want to record 5 minutes before the start of a show then for an hour and ten minutes so I have a 5 minute buffer either side ... it seems this is not an option for record from line in

On the "TV Mapping" tab: The left column lists the channels that have not yet been mapped to the TV tuner identified by the drop-down menu just...

    OK....perhaps impatient of me I know, but went for a full reinstall....and now up and running once more. Have no idea what was at the root of this problem....still wondering if it may've been due to a Win11 update earlier this week?
