[QUOTE="benicehavefun, post: 1099561, member: 149859"] I'm in the process of transitioning from WMC7 to MediaPortal 1.8.0 and have run into a couple of issues I could use some input on... My current configuration is running with just one active "tuner" at the moment, which is an HD-PVR connected to a DirecTV H24. I'm in the USA, and am running the SchedulesDirect, DirecTV SHEF and TVServerXBMC Plugins. I'm using both MediaPortal and XBMC as clients -- MediaPortal on my HTPC for primary TV viewing, and XBMC on a RaspberryPi in the bedroom. Generally I'm very pleased with how this setup is working, with the following exceptions: When I first power up the HTPC and start watching live TV, the audio will drift out of sync within the first 10-15 minutes. By pressing the "res" button on the front of my H24 and cycling through 1080p, 480i, 480p, 720p and back to 1080i I can get the audio back in sync. Best I can tell so far, video and audio will remain synchronized from then on until the HD-PVR (and HTPC) are powered down or rebooted. My second item is that when watching live TV, and a recording begins, I'm getting no warning -- the live image simply freezes. Given that I only have one HD-PVR this is expected, but I'm surprised that I'm not getting any sort of onscreen dialog beforehand. In WMC7 in this same situation, I'd be warned of the need to re-purpose the live tuner and the channel would be changed to the one required for the recording. Loving MediaPortal so far! I'm planning to get a Hauppauge Colossus (or possibly another HD-PVR) to go with my HDHomeRuns (not yet added), once I get this stripped down setup running well. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
