MP1 MP2 RC4 and HD TV DE
I've tried it from both. Thanks for the link to RC3. I'll re-install this and see what happens. I used Filmerit and got no problems (actually 1, but only with audio). However, I re-installed RC3 and the problem has completely gone. I can now view the HD channel live and in recordings. As I changed nothing in between, I can...

You might have an issue I once had as well. One of your directories is not "Team~1" but "Team~2" for instance. This can happen if at some time you have a directory with a similar name like "Team mediaportal backup". To test this, start a command prompt and do cd progra~1 cd team~1 cd mediap~1 If at some point you end up...

MP1 MP2 Enlarge Font size in TV Guide (1 Viewer) DE
It's not set directly. It depends on the 'TVguide panel height' and (I think) the 'Channel template height'. It will simply display the number of channels that fit the panel. VdR

For The Record supports as many servers as you wish. You only need to make sure you configure it to use an admin account with network priviliges during setup. Then you can add a recorder/tuner for each of your TV server machines.

For future reference - it is possible to modify the bracket on a Pinnacle Dual Sat Pro PCI 4000i to fit into a low profile case - I am using a Antec Minuet which is only 10cm tall. Lopped of the top of the bracket and left just enough extra to bend into the L shape so I can use a screw to keep it in place.

The problem is that the authentication mode is set to Windows Authentication only, probably when you already have sql server installed.

I wouldn't go as far as to recommend the Nova T-500, they cause great many issues for people - it is based on some dodgy PCI-to-USB bridge, which is the root of a few issues. Some people do manage to get it working. I would however, recommend the PCI Nova-T hauppauge tuner, which is a real PCI tuner.

Sometimes I get a black screen too. It tends to be mostly the trailers whilst the main movie plays ok. Sometimes I can get it to work by pressing stop then play and then click Yes to resume from last position. This would imply that it is not a codec issue as it should not play at all. I use the default MP codec whatever that is. It...

Actually if I remmember correctly the MPA code doesnt even support MPEG1 mono audio, so at least it wont ever work on all situations. One good audio codec seems to be Microsoft's Vista audio decoder. All people having audio issues with TVE3 should try it (of course it requires you to have Vista in use :)).
