Hi, I am trying to perform a single transponder scan in version 1.1.0 Beta, but the button is grayed-out. The work-around seems not valid within this version since I can not find any ini file in the Media Portal folder. Regards, Frans.

I'd like to know if it's possible to scan a specific transponder on a satellite in TV Server. If it is possible, how do you do it?

MP1 MP2 Programming Guide DE
Hi there :) Guess you are referring to EPG (Electronic Program Guide)? Search for USA EPG, I recall a lot of recent discussions on it. Did not look into the detail though (since I am not in USA :D ) Examples: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/ota-epg-u-s-51892/#post371485...

MP1 MP2 Noob question DE
Didn't try it till now, but wouldn't bet on it. This are things that also depend on the used codec, bitrate etc. Also the video card you use does not help youre CPU decoding the video. It might work with a video card like 9400GT or an HD4350, but you wont get them for AGP.

Did you get any manufacturer software with youre Tuner Card? Maybe you can try this first and see how many Channels it will find. For DVB-T sometimes a stronger antenna (maybe you got an old one on the top of youre house) dows wonders. I live in a part of Germany where we have a very good DVB-T signal quality, but also here you...

Which DVD playing software are you using, default? I have issues if I stop an iso. It plays ok but if I stop it then MP crashes so I have to reboot or end task. I am using the default 1.0.2 install. Also the OSD (on screen display) when I play a movie always appears behind the movie. Hence I never really use FF etc. OSD works fine...
