MP1 MP2 Windows 7 support DE
Dunno if this helps.. but my ATSC USB stick tuner wouldn't scan channels in the TV Server on Windows 7. Could just be a lame cheap tuner though. Everything else worked perfectly that I tried.

This is turning out to not be as easy as I thought. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to issue a keystroke to the Harmony remote. The odd thing is that the StreamZap remote I have says its compatible with MediaPortal so one would have thought they would have assigned the menu key on that remote to do this. I have tried a few 3rd...

MP1 MP2 Channel Numbers DE
Is it possible to see the channelnumbers in the Guide? Or is that a skin dependant setting (using Monochrome)? It also does not show a channel number when pressing more info, correct?

I came up with an idea of my own. I use allwaysync to backup database to another partition. At startup it picks up the files again. Works flawlessly, but your suggestion is the most effective way to do it. I will try it when i get home. Thank you :)

I also noticed that the mediaportal app is using 98-99% of my processor power. Is there some setting I might have hit that would have...

Yes you may want to consider a different approach instead of using remote desktop. You can have your desktop loaded with MP too and do the importing of movies/shows there. Edit the mediaportaldirs.xml on that PC to point to a shared database location. Edit the same file on the HTPC and again point to that same location. If you are not...

this is mostly a typical deinterlacing problem. So typical that such broadcasts are mainly used to judge the deinterlacing quality. Unsharp scrolling text is not a 24/25 fps problem (25 fps broadcast would stutter every second but be sharp) I assume the channel broadcasts MPG2 video stream, SDTV. (correct me if not) My suggestion: -...
