MP1 MP2 DirectInput DE
I haven't got my gamepads yet for the HTPC but yes to support gamepads nativley would be excellent. Reduces the noob factor.

Yes it would be nice I have thought of having this feature in the past. The natural keys are gone though and pressing 'S' continuously will be a pain unless they change the key assignments. Up and Down would be the natural choice here in my opinion. I don't think the current feature - big step forward / back is well used. DMAN.

Yes, but it would be nice to know if a episode is going to record because it could conlfict with another recording. Actually this brings up the concept of recording priorites which is something I'd like to see in MP. I'm acutally thinking of doing coding myself.

When I open the EPG, I can see 5 channels (out of, e.g., 30). It looks nice, and I like the colors. BUT: Is it possible to increase that number, i.e. display more than five channels at a time? Using a smaller font, and possibly leave away the program description would leave sufficient space for a (configurable?) bigger number of...

I own a Mega 180 myself, the radio included in the Mega 180 is not a 'standard' one there's absolutely no documentation available on how to use it within your own (Mediaportal) application. Normally there are directshow filters/devices which can be used in programs like mediaportal. Unfortunaly this is not the case on the Mega 180...

MP1 MP2 ICO-File support? DE
No advantage and I agree that it's a crappy file format. But I (and many mame users) have tons of mame icons which could look good in a list view! There are also many icon collections around that would be cool to use..... See http://www.mameworld.net/icons/ and admit they're looking cool.... 8) Daniel

While recording tv from a DVB-card, I would like the possibilty to record subtitles in a standardised format (like for instance .SRT or .SSA). This function could also be integrated with a future dvd-burning/authoring function (which I feel also is vital)

Hi Just an idea mainly for DVD playback. It would b nice to have a function that would allow MP to detect the Frame rate of a DVD (or File) and switch the TV output accordingly. This would mean if a DVD was 50/25 fps the output would go to PAL and if the DVD was 60/30 fps it would swtch to NTSC. Why is this prefereable...
