I thought it would be fairly easy to plug my UHF aerial into my new Dell PC with Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1200 tuner and watch Freeview. Now I've learnt that Windows Media Center wont play Freeview Terrestrial'(wouldn't identify digital channels), and so installed MediaPortal. This is promising - the channels were identified, the epg mostly worked first time. But although I get crystal clear sound'for all channels, the picture is black.
Have I got something wrong in the mediaPortal configuration settings? The Television video decoder settings are as follows:
MPEG-2 Video decoder = MPV Decoder Filter
H.264 Video decoder = CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder
I have tried other decoders with no success
My computer is Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @ 2.66 GHz with 3 G RAM
Graphics Card is ATI Radeon HD3450
Any suggestions?
