Are these all Digital TV, or a mixture of Digital and Analogue?
What country are you in?
As I said in my previous post, capture cards only accept composite or S-video input - I am not aware of any (affordable) capture cards that accept component input - and certainly not USB. I could be wrong, though... :?

You need to enable WOL in your BIOS or on your network card if its a separate entity. Then you need some software to send the so called magic packet. If you're behind a router you need to send the magic packet to your public IP and have the appropriate port forwarded to all PCs, it will only work on the one that is sleeping. Oh and...

Hi Guerric
Unfortunately your CPU is not 2.8 ghz as recommended.
Have dual card myself and have given up on the analogue side.
Have you by any chance linked a sound cable to the TV card and connected to either cd or aux on soundcard/motherboard.

You should be able to run mediaportal on such a system, but it would be better if you used a faster DX9 compatible card. I used a 2,6 Ghz Celeron, 512MB and AIW7500 PCI computer and it could run MediaPortal quite well as long as I used the default MCE skin. Other skins used DX9 functions more, resulting in too slow performance for...

Every skin has its own fonts.xml in its folder.
But you will have to make a bit of trial and error after chnages if it fits i your tv screen.

Thanks Rybber,
I did this already.
Last weekend I did a big forum search action and tried almost everything explained.
From trying different codecs to installing the newest MS patches.

So maybe I'll have a workaround by disabling C'n'Q.

I'm testing it on Windows XP Pro now and i don't have any problems anymore. It seams to be a Windows MCE related problem.

The distored colors remain but thats not a realy big problem as they only last for 30 seconds.

But I still have the problem that if I select the Day as a number (DD) the leading zero is not displayed, so it is "9 4" instead of "09 04" - I guess there is no solution for that problem :( . Or any ideas to force that?

Hi,
did you test video playback (avi / mpeg)?
The VIA/S3 onBoard graphic does not proper support VMR9. You should consider to spend your system a decent DX9 capable card. MP only supports VMR9 as renderer and uses DX9 technology to render its GUI.

Please disregard this problem, as I have finally fixed it!
In the end, I not only uninstalled MP through Add/Remove Programs, but I also deleted the folder. Then I installed a fresh RC3. This caused me to have to completely redo my setup, but it was worth it to get color TV back.

You may want to use the search function for your question.
