Perhaps I'm missing this. Its something really simple but I can't seem to find it.. I have a Conceptronic TVi TV Card (Connexant) Conceptronic.net and use it NOT to watch TV but to watch and record from my SatYcon Digital Satellite reciever. The Satycon does the decoding and I just watch the output , (via composite at the moment) on...

Hi Nick, You should have a look at IR Server by And-81. This is a replacement for the builtin support for MCE remotes. I use IR Server to receive the commands from my MCE remote, handle som commands in MP, and blast others to my TV and/or my audio amp. Have a look and let me know if you have any questions. /Peter

Can you tell us which tuner you are using, as there are great reception differences between the various card makes. I take it you also mean Freeview (DVB-T), what really is your local transmitter, because if you are in a area of multiple reception, this may screw things up. Regards

MP1 MP2 IMDB info layout DE
I just started working with Mediaportal and I think it's a really great program. I do have one question though, regarding the IMDB. During the mediaportal configuration (V1.0.0.0 RC1) I used the scan for the IMDB. After this scan had finished (took some time) there was a long list of movies with conflicts. I went to the whole list and...

Just to add to rekenaar's post .......you could also use the 'switch view' and have your videos sorted by genre,title, year, etc....... using this method would give you the 'illusion' that you only have one 'folder' for movies but it can span multiple drives and directory's that you setup in the mp config.

Unfortunatly there's always scaling involved when using 720p on a 1366x768 screen. In most cases there's also a huge overscan. So image quality is really bad, especially for text (videos are a bit better). If you don't need hdcp I would recommend using the vga connector (or dvi) with a desktop resolution near your screen resolution...
