MP1 MP2 Recording SKY DE
There are two ways of getting Sky on a mediaportal PC. The most common way is to connect it using analogue and control the set top box with IR blasters (or something similar). I *think* there is a way to pull the EPG off the internet. The other and more expensive way is to get a supported DVB-S card, like the Twinhan or FloppyDTV...

Greetings, Maybe this is in another post somewhere but I didn't find it. I've managed to get 0.2.1.0 to recognize my Technotrend S2-3200 DVB 2 card but I can not get MP to output an AC3 stream. This works fine in MCE2005, DVBviewer and even the Technotrend software, but not in MP. I'm using the Cyberlink codecs for...

Hi, 2) You may edit the TVDatabaseVXXX.db3 with the SQLight Browser to add your MCE recordings. But this could be very tricky. I do not know, if there is an import utility (would be nice though :)). 3) They are listed in Timer. If a recording is running you can select it there and start the playback from beginning. They are...

I'm also using a Hauppauge Nova T stick (DVBT) as my second tuner.

Quality of the signal seems to be identical to my...

Did you Download the 29Mb update (RU2) for MCE 2005 ?.. You can't install that on a regular XP SP2, you need to unpack it and install the KBs one by one. I believe it'll fail in one of them as that is MCE only.. Cheers, Steff

I tried a Media MVP that's now sitting on a shelf. I liked it, but wanted to go the PC route and I really like MP. Anyway, you asked about compatibility. I think the Media MVP box can play many of the file formats that MP does. That would be about as far as it goes, though. Media MVP is it's own environment.
