you can prioritize your cards in the TVServer, so whenever possible, the card without the CAM-Module is used, and only if this card cannot tune to the wanted channel, it will use the second card with descrambling capabilities.

MP1 MP2 switch on logging DE
Logging is always on. All you can do is adjust the verbosity of logging. Logs should be in (Vista) C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Log (XP) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Log For TV-Server logs just change \MediaPortal\ to \MediaPortal TV Server\

X-face has about the closest to "nested" as there is so far... when you focus a hover image a sub menu appears below across the bottom... so I would think it would be possible to mod a skin to do something similar.... like using monochrome, for example, you could add sub menus below the hover Icon, and when it is focus, then the list...

Well, I don't know if it's a bug or a bad configuration on my part, but I found out that the only way to choose the channels group we want in the quick record menu is to tune one channel of that group and then restart Windows.

I would imagine MSN has to be installed, the only other way I know to connect is via the browser on the Microsoft site.

I've partially solved my problem by rolling back my HD4850 video card drivers to the ones that came with it in the box. I can now play a mounted .ISO file if I play it as if it were a DVD (clicking the drive letter in MP).

BazzUK, I have tried XP MCE for 2 years. In that time I have changed my TV tuner from PVR500MCE (Dual) to 2x floppydtv DVB-T. MCE works in beginning but starts stuttering after several months. I changed to MP because I hoped it was more stable. I must say: IT IS MORE STABLE. Instead of crashing every 3 days now it crashes once a month...

Hi there, I can't help with the question, but just wanted to give a warning based on where this thread could go. Remember that the MP site is hosted in Germany and that country has very strict laws on copying DVD's and any information or links to applications that can do this could land the MP site hosts in trouble with German law...
