General talk regarding our HTPC-software MediaPortal 1 takes place here.
One thing I would highly suggest is to make sure to get a Vid card with HDCP.
Most Nvidia 7950 cards have it as well as certain lower end cards.
If you end up adding HD-DVD or Blue-ray down the road you will want this feature and wish you got a card that supports it.
Your TV needs to support it to though, but if you are getting a new...

So I have a MCE remote, but the link is down for the driver in the plugins section.
Anyone know where i can find it?
Mine runs on 0.2.2.0 with svn, using TVE2 and 1-2 second delay (timeshifting enabled).
With a new card, would recommend a complete reinstall, as there could be database conflicts, relating to the TV side of MP.

Eh... we are 0.2.2.X now, so the next ver. would probably be 0.3.0.0?
My tip: Browsing SVN releases - they are not very many ATM. In my experience that somtimes means that a updated version is on its way (not allways, though). Might not be 0.3.0.0, but a minor update.

Hi all,
are there any news about MPNG?

M4TH... I assume you want to hit Bev or Dish... being that you are in Canada. The setting you need is called circular. 11250. That should work for you. I am hitting dish with that setting and am able to pull it down with my skystar2 card. I think that is about the only card right now that can do this.

Out of curiosity, what has everyone's (non-dev) experience been with the new TV-engine build so far?
I found what i thought was my keyboard in the device manager. I unchecked the "allow device to wake up" box and now the computer wont wake up instantly, but now my MCE remote cant wake it up either. I only changed the power management settings for one device. It seems ike it is treating both the keyboard and the remote as one device.

My Twinhan DTV 1030 via BDA drivers detect a sat signal in strength and quality 20-30% less than the signal detected by a Nexus-s on the same sat cable.
The BDA driver used for twinhan is 1.2.3.8.
I think the poor signal detected may be cause of:
1- long "wait for pmt" in tv.log
2- long time for channel changing
3- Bad video...

I recently installed MP on my work laptop. I travel a great deal and like the interface the MP provides me to handle all the media I have loaded on my laptop.

My advice.
Come out of MP and try to play a DVD from your DVD drive using [say] WM10. Once that is working OK, then try doing the same from MP, then try running the files DVDclone creates.

Thanks. I'm learning. Is there a "universal IR blaster"? My cable company (Comcast in southern NJ) seems to change boxes every 4-6 months.
Is there a specific MP URI I can follow to get more clues on the IR blaster thing?
