Some<br />things have moved from "Capture cards" to "Input connections"<br />recently, so look there also.<br />_______________________________________________</blockquote>Thanks Stephen,<br /><br /> I believe in my case this is under "Input connections". the HD-PVR certainly needed this to be set last time I checked, which was several years back.<br /><br /> Anyway, setting directly in the db is fine by me.<br /><br />BR.<br /><br />--Marius--<br /> </html>
