MP1 MP2 TV Guide Update DE
Since you're in the US, you have to actually get the data from somewhere else. There's a couple of different options that are available here, most of which you have to pay for. The one I use and the one that you'll get recommended to you the most is Schedules Direct. It's $20/year, but you get guide data for all of your channels...

You could use VLC and setup a stream. Then you could add this stream URL as a Webstream Radio Channel to TVengine and listen to it on every MP Client you have connected to that TVengine.

This is exactly the problem. There were discussions in the past where users had problems with USB drives mapped for MediaPortal. Unfortunately there is no solution I know of. Maybe you should rename this thread in "Mapping USB network share" or something like this. If somebody knows a solution he will reply. -level20peon

MP1 MP2 Question on setup DE
if you need to stick with an AGP interface, I think the 7xxx series cards are the best nVidia ones that you can use. I have a 6600 AGP card that still works really well and has component output. For the resolution of the gfx card, just like an LCD, you are best off finding out the native resolution of your TV and outputting at that res.
