Yes, that's great news. Not sure how the guide and picture are related, though.

Yep. I have it all working now. I changed the proxy settings to 69.19.14.10
port 3128 (A tip from green button blog) and guide downloaded with no issues.
Once the guide was loaded the picture was clear and the sound was working :-)
Thanks for all the help.

You know you won't get sound through an S-video cable, right? You did
connect a separate cable for sound to your tuner card?

I'm still having trouble. I am now seeing a picture, but it keeps
breaking
up similar to a weak signal, and there is no sound on TV. I have sound for
all other functrions, just not TV. Do I possibly have a bad s-video
cable?
If I bypass the MCE system I have no issues, so I know it a good satellite
feed. Any thoughts? I'm also still unable to download the guide due to
error 13. Could these issues be related>

If you use S Video (or a composite video) input, you also have to connect
the sound inputs (audio L and R) from (presumably) your STB's audio
outputs.

They should be plugged into your tv tuner's audio inputs, not your sound
card's audio inputs.

Yes, S-Video from the cable box to the tuner card will provide better
video resolution.

MCE has to be set up to use the S-Video input.

I do not have a second monitor attached. Are you suggesting I stay
S-video
throughout, so S-video from the STB to my TV tuner card? I thought
the
same
thing and tried it, but then I get nothing at all on the TV
screen...

I have just built a new MCE system and am having trouble setting up
my
TV
signal. When I go into TV setup and get to the point where I
search
for a
signal, I get solid black in the signal box. I tried changing the
signal

from channel 4, to channel 3 and no luck. I also tried S-video

1
and
every
other option, but nothing works. I have coax going from the STB to
a
Avermedia MCE 500 dual TV tuner. My outgoing connection is S-video

from an

ASUS 6600 graphics card to my TV. Every other aspect of MCE is
running
fine,
but I cannot get a TV signal. Any suggestions out there?

Do you also have a regular monitor attached? Try setting it up
without
the
TV. One variable at a time.

You really do want S-Video.
