You have an idea how MediaPortal could be improved? Post it in here.
I know but I would really prefer to use the main menu "TV button" . I want to make my HTPC my main attraction in the living room and in order to get the approval of the wife I have to make it as user friendly as possible. What can I say ? Women ;) Thanks very much for the reply anyway.

Agreed - we dont need more options... Its just that I started my HTPC journey with MythTV :roll: and it always showed currently recording shows under recorded TV. I guess it made more sense to me because there is then a clear split of functionality between the two. If you wanted to watch recorded TV (be it currently recording or...

Actually, it would be nice to assign a volume modifier for each channel as some are quieter or louder than others. Then add an option to the setup to assign the same modifier to all channels on a card. I'd rather not have it record with altered volume though... just adjust the volume up or down for the channel depending on the...

Hiya. Having used a tivo( which I think is the coolest product that no-one has beaten yet), there are three things sort of mentioned above that I think will make the killer app: 1) Tivo's ability to mark interest by actor & director - both manually and automatically - and then record films/programs with these profiles...

MP1 MP2 Unicode support DE
Is there a chance Media Portal will truely support Unicode one day? Currently it only displays the characters, but ignores the writing direction which is used in Hebrew, Arbic, and far east. Most of the people of the world do not write from left to right! Far east, Arab countries, Israel... The problem is not the interface, we can...
