Hi. .TS is a container like AVI, MKV, MPEG, MOV,...In fact TS nearly is identical to MPEG with optimization for broadcasting as TS stays for MPEG Transport Stream.. And nearly all DVB signals are send in an .ts container via Satellite or Cable. That's why .ts is the default container on most of the PVR software out there. You easily...

MP1 MP2 Closed Captions ? DE
Correct. So, a possible solution for that would be to try to map the mute button to do both things. I'm not particularly knowledgeable in that domain, but hopefully somebody else will be able to make a suggestion.

Hello again One key (which I hope should be obvious): TV Server can't record while the PC is asleep (standby/hibernate). The hardware is mostly powered down; software is not running; nothing is happening while the PC is asleep. So, how do you minimise power usage? In short, the answer is TV Server's PowerScheduler plugin. This...

Hello again I do sympathise. There are some things you could have done to help yourself. Don't spend more than an hour stuck before asking for help.

To be absolutely clear: MediaPortal doesn't require you to use the SA account, or a particular password. The purpose of the dialog in the screenshot I posted earlier is to enable you to enter valid connection credentials. You do not have to use the default MediaPortal credentials. In other words, I don't think you needed to install...

Hi Personnally, I use an Harmony One remote control with a Microsoft IR RC6 usb. The system works fine. I can control my TV, AVR, and Htpc with only one remote. About the Tv tuner, I use an HdHomerun Tuner of Silicondust. It's a network double tuner DVB-T. It works fine too.
