Post problems you have when using MediaPortal, or pre installation questions in here.
In itself, the MCE remote, with the IR extenders can make the other two obsolete. May be less glossy than other proposed solutions, but it's no problem whatsoever.

You can always cut out the stuff you don't use, such as other skins, maybe plugins even? I have no idea how much space this would save you, though.

MP1 MP2 New Graphics Card DE
No keep DirectX9. I meant the card is a DX8.1 card meaning it will handle that itself. The CPU will take the left over DX9 instructions itself. 0130 is the stable release and 0200 so far is only release candidates. Dont let that put you off though, some of the late CVS builds have been looking VERY good indeed. (worthy of finally...

How did you make MP work with a G400? I have the exact same specs (except my cpu is a 1GHz PIII). When I first started up MediaPortal it complained about DirectX9 compability, and told me to install the full DX9 SDK. I did so, and the program is now able to start.` All menus are extremely slow though.... Are there any...

An update: I get sound through the mobo speakers out jacks by defining default direct sound device as audio renderer in media portal movie player setup. Therefore the problem is only with TV and radio and the problem is the same with hauppauge wintv: sound only through spdif and stereo line.

Well if the problem was known about, it would have been fixed in 0200RC2. If its still not fixed there, it must be an isolated problem and I would still look at that video card. You dont need another tv card to test, just a newer video card.

I think you will find that analogue software TV cards are no longer supported in MediaPortal. If you want a hybrid card (analogue and digital), then you will need to get one that has a hardware MPEG2 encoder - like the Hauppauge one - the WinTV-HVR-1300.

from what i know... you shouldnt see much difference between mce and xp sp2 however i do suspect that cpu utilisation 'may' be a bit lower when watching tv (from my observations, but nothing conclusive) the other advantage is that xp pro seems to be broken for dual digital cards, requiring the use of a couple of files from MCE, so if...

I believe there is a bug in the Quality tab where actually changing to a different default doesn't work, but you can actaully change the bitrate value itself and that does work. Anyway, I'm afraid I can't confirm the graphs as I don't share your hardware.
