Hi That is correct. :) The CI slot does not read the card - you buy a CAM to insert into the CI slot, and the smartcard from your provider goes into the CAM. What you should be concerned about is whether the tuner that you buy supports the CAM that you buy. Do you mean encryption standards? If so, there are *many*. Irdeto, SECA...

Gee, you're just find out now that SageTV was bought by Google? ;-) I only use analog tuners too. I use two PVR-150 Hauupage cards and an MCE IR Transceiver. Works fine. When you install MediaPortal, it will ask you if you plan to watch Live TV with it. If you say Yes, it will install the TV part of the software in addition to the...

Hi everyone, I have what is probably an easy question, but I sure can't figure it out....... I'm using an Analog AverMedia H826 tuner, I'm able to find all my channels, but they come in with just the local channel number, e.g. 33, 46, 15 etc. etc. I've tried XMLTv and WebEPG but neither can find the right guide info, I imagine...

No, you don't need to do anything. You actually don't even have to remember which channel you were watching. Just go to the main TV menu, click 'TV-streams' and choose the stream you want to watch. The clients use the server you tell them to use. You can have as many servers as you like, but the clients can only be connected to...

I have Logitech Harmony 300i and bought Windows XP compliant RC6 receiver from "AEOne" who is a member of this board. Setting up Logitech 300i as MCE was easy over web. I also did couple of small changes on key mappings in MP according to my taste :) This combinaton perfectly works for me and it does what I expect.

MP1 MP2 Web TV Scheduler ? DE
Hi, I can't seem to find any 1.2 addon for scheduling TV recordings remotely via the web. This is a pretty common thing to do with Tivo and Windows MCE etc. I tried using FTR but it's too complicated and the channel changing speed is 8+ seconds which is unacceptable. Any ideas?
