hi guys,

Built up my HTPC, but am stuck tryign to find a software. Tried heaps, including MCE, GBPVR, Mythtv etc etc.

Simply cannot find one i like, and set it up. Mythtv seems the best, but impossible to set up unless you're a linux guru.

So that has brought me here.

I have installed Media Portal, and i simply cannot work out how to get it to scan for channels.

Mysetup:

P4 1.9ghz w/512mb ram
DNTV Live! Pro
Twinhan Sat-CI

atm, the Twinhan is not inserted, as i'm trying to work out how to get it working. I'm living in perth, australia.

Basically what i need

1) How do i get it to scan for channels
2) When i insert my Twinhan, how do i get it to scan for satellite channels, simply by telling it which satellite i'm facing.
3) Can i use HIP to control media portal via remote control?

atm, that's all i got, will update later if need be

Cheers
