Hi, I got off to a flying start with MP by going through the Manual very thoroughly (like a good boy.) I'm now making further progress by the trial-and-error method which is not very efficient.

Hey guys, Thanks for your thoughts on this - I think I'll try the Flppy DTV card and see how I get on. I did try the fix you mentioned Paranoid, but with no success. Have yet to try TVE3 tho, which I will do soon. Are there not any UK residents out there that could post their success of using Virgin Media with MediaPortal? Thanks again

well, MP is probably the most powerful and complete Media Centre from what I have seen (although it's been a few years since I compared all the others). If you want simplicity and ease of use, then MCE is probably your best bet, but most of the people here want to be able to tweak a whole lot more than MCE will allow them. Since it's...

Apparently TVcablenet is not part of Voo, so there will be a few open questions after my explanation, but I will point to them. First of all, I recommend you forget about trying to record the output from your decoder. You would be recording analog , so you might as well just get an analog capturing card for that. The correct...
