If you edit your profile there is selection option to hide or show your system spec. There is nothing wrong with the Nebula card. I have two of them working quite happily in my machine. The only thing you to note is that if you have the BDA drivers installed the Nebula DigiTV application will only work for a couple of minutes...

if you uninstall the old version of MP, then the config will revert to the default settings MPV & MPA if these were selected at install. You may want to also have a look at using a program called graphedit (google to find) which will display what codec is in use when you are displaying videos. Although you may have selected a codec in...

You didn't specify your install, but since you are using SQL Server, I will assume you are using TV Server. I also assume you are not using a set top box, and that the cable is plugged directly into the tuner card, and that you are looking for unecrypted channels. (I can't help with encrypted, as in the US I would have to use a...

If set at normal the screen should automatically resize to that, this is dependant on which mpeg2 codec you are using, the best for correct aspect ratios are PowerDVD7\8 codecs. This is reliant on your graphics output being set at a true 16:9 ratio such as 1280x720 or 1920x1080 if you can do it, other variations of widescreen may...

Well, I just tried the CoreAVC decoder, and it has worse results than the Cyberlink one, unfortunately. =( There are three HD channels on the DVB-T system here in New Zealand. Two of them (TV ONE and TV2) are 720p and the other (TV3) is 1080i. There isn't any 1080p channels here yet. =P EDIT: Hmm, from looking at the requirements...

I have no idea how to update album art while MP is actually running. What I was suggesting was for adding album art from MP configuration. Now that Audioscrobbler is enabled, go into MP config, right click on the plugin, and select "configuration" from the context menu. It'll prompt you for username/password (so you'll have to...

MP1 MP2 A couple of issues DE
Ok, I fixed the tearing issue by upgrading to SAF 2.5 and switching to VMR9. I fixed the audio problems by uninstalling the manufacturers driver and grabbing a copy of Via's Envy 24 driver. That driver had more options for using the SPDIF out. I still can't get the system to recognize the remote. The IR port isn't showing up in...

As I understand... MP works with BDA compliant TV tuners... maybe then you need to see if your Angel device is BDA compliant before you spend more time on this problem. Also, this is MP support forum... I don't think that people here are going to supply you answers on how to conifgure your system on a different platform.

For point 1, you could try changing the audio renderer to the different directsound device in the various config sections of MP. I think this would assume that both your inbuilt sound card and the HDMI interface have Directsound filters.
