Hello datfreak You've got all sorts of strange errors in your error log. There is no indication of what the problem might be. I'd suggest two things: 1. Don't use the driver supplied by Windows. Use the driver from the tuner manufacturer. 2. Don't use "pause graph". 3. Use the same network provider ("preferred network provider")...

Can you try to stop the stream, wait 30 seconds, and then go to the next channel? There's a known bug which results in tuners not being freed for a while after the stream has been stopped. You have to forward port 4322 in your router to the PC which runs the MPExtended service, and then configure your external address in aMPdroid...

I just noticed your PSU is 300watts, I'd recommend you to look at the following cheap + lower power (wattage) video cards, All these video cards don't need an auxillary pci-e power cable, which is important as you probably wont have this feature on your PSU. ATI HD4670 (2nd hand) ATI HD5450 (2nd hand) ATI HD6450 (brand new or 2nd...

MP1 MP2 Problems with Skins DE
Hi Chris. Last question 1st - skin has no real impact on catalog of content - for movies, recommend MovingPictures for Movies & MP TVSeries for TV collections. How easy it is to catalog with both plugins depends on your naming conventions - see Wiki & Forum for specific help as and when needed. Songs - don't have much music...

Don't upgrade that pc, it will still give you problems with MP even if upgrading. You'd be better off saving for a new htpc from scratch. Your best bet is to use XBMC, preferably the linux version. There is a linux bootcd version of xbmc, called "xbmcuntu" you can download + try from their website, it will run much better than MP...

PC wise you install it on that PC too. videos / music etc are all configured locally but for TV there is one server that all clients connect to. There is no mac support (MP needs .NET). There are a couple of things around this (DNLA, web-streaming etc) but the above is the out the box situation

Becky, Just to give you an idea about the performance you actually need for an average HTPC running MediaPortal, my HTPC is a 3-year old Dell Vostro 200 (slimline) with an Intel E4400 (2.2GHz dual-core) CPU, 4GB of RAM, nVidia GT430 video card and 2.5" 250GB drive + 3.5" 2TB 'green' drive. This will happily record 3 x HDTV channels...
