It could be that your motherboard doesn't support it, but that makes it kinda weird that they have the setting in the BIOS, but then again they could've just "forgotten" or rather not bothered to remove...

After stream was started, the Frequency of the CPU was always...

It should get hidden by itself by MediaPortal, but just to be safe I use BzHider which just moves the cursor to the top-right corner of my screen and in effect "hides" it.

Then, in control panel under software you would see something like AMD cpu driver and to enable it in windows you go to 'Power options' in control panel and there under the first tab 'Power Schemes' you can select 'Miniamal...

If this channel has differrent streams with in it, then a second client can request a second stream utilising this one card. For example, In Australia, our Free to Air Digital TV...

You can certainly use MultiShortcut to open IE at a particular page. Just put the web address in the "Arguments" field of the MultiShortcut configuration. To start it in kiosk (fullscreen) mode, add a "-k" before the web address.
