Default Simple (yet not too simple) Hardware set up...

OK Bear with me I'm coming from GB-PVR and trying to get a handle...

I tried MS MCE and I found it well suffocating and idiot proofed and inferior.

I read a post by someone touting the inferiority of GB-PVR because of all the tweaking involved, granted if your not to geeky it can be daunting, but frankly I find it much easier to confgure. IMHO. Don't Flame me yet.

With that said -- can some one show, point or something how am I supposed to identify which Hardware Mediaportal is using. I've gone through the setup and manual (I really have tried) but I can't find a simple dialog telling me what its using for TV input I have 2 Hauppague cards and I can't figure out which one is bing used. Thanks

I know I'm using MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC1 does this version use multiple engines?
How would I determine that?
