If you have not built the databases in the first place, you can do it from there by running a scan. If they have already been built, then when you rebuild, it will go off to the internet again for all the IMDB info which can take a long time.

One of the features the family loves in Vista MCE, is that once you have started a music playing session, you can easily start a slideshow which displays random images from the subscribed folders in the My Pictures session. I know you can do the...

Hey bablorub,
enjoy your stay at MediaPortal.
I hope you don't mind but I've removed the links from your signature as they are not relevant to the HTPC / MediaPortal community.
I'm sure you understand.

Dropped in here just to holla at you all! So wuzzup!
Thanks Milhouse... Yes, I moved from the US to Paris not so long ago and was delighted with the digital Sat options available here. I have (after a lot of trial and error) got a fantastic setup with direct Satellite feed into the PC with near perfect picture quality - hence my caution before jumping to Media Portal.
Pity about...

T500 is only good for DVB-T ie freeview, so if thats what you need then it's not a bad card.
If your looking possibly Freeview\Freesat\connecting a skybox via analogue so you can record a channel, this may be worth looking at.

You've got a lot of words in your post, but it's really hard to follow, bouncing back and forth between GBPVR, MCE, and Mediaportal problems. I can only help with the latter. I suggest you include more details on your setup (especially I can't tell if you are running TV2 or TV Server, let along the version). Even your...

You could try one of the logitech harmony universal remotes. (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/remotes/universal_remotes/&cl=us,en) They are a bit on the pricey side, but they can be programmed to do what you want.
They are activity based so for example, you choose the 'Watch a Movie' activity and the remote can be programmed to...

Welcome :)
Also, if you do need help with anything (which is natural since there is so much that can be "tinkered" with) then please make sure your system details are either in the post or in your user details.
It's also very good to post logs, found in the mediaportal/logs directory.
Do that and we'll all get along perfectly.

Hi Guys,
First, I just want to say hi and introduce myself as a GB-PVR user. But this program is very nice and I am currently evaluating doing a switchover to MP.
With that said, I have 3 questions.

I figured this out!
2. I have two sound...

Not yet I think. You have to wait for this product before even thinking about recording HD from cable/sat STBs.
http://www.hauppauge.com/PDFs/Hauppauge_HD_recorder.pdf
It connect to STBs via Component Input. According to that press release it should be available Q1 2008, so I'm guessing pretty soon. Pricey though, $249.

Yes, i can use the UNC format. I'm just using the normal TV engine (i think, I'm just using the standard MP 0.2.3.0).
Where would I set-up where recordings are saved by MediaPortal? Is it in MediaPortal Configuration > Television > Recording > Custom Paths & Filenames?
