Ah yes the old WAF/PAF (Wife/Partner Acceptance Factor). This is always a big consideration when building a HTPC.
Guys I really need some support here. My partner had the nerve, after 12 months of fiddling with MCE2005, Fusion card, SPDIF out and mediaportal to ask me " Can we just go back to the Set top box?" I almost :cry: ...

Not positive this is the place to post this, but I've been using some software called GraphRenderer I found on the thegreenbutton.com.
The great thing about this is not only will it convert a dvr-ms to a mpeg2 complient video, it will remove the commercials in a recorded television program.
It is still in it's alpha stage...

Works for me. I can wake my machine up from S3 standby and hibernation. I use a simple utility from www.matcode.com that I run with a batch file which sends the Magic Packet to the MP machine.

Maybe you've never heard about Giambattista Vico, a neapolitan philosopher, who gave birth to the idea that the story just cycles, going through hystorical courses and recourses (I'm sorry if I didn't translate it well, maybe a quick search on Google could help the most curious...).

Yes, the TV output will generate interlaced video.
But, I believe most or all VGA chipsets support different frame buffers for the odd and even fields.
So, if the video was kept interlaced in the DVR-MS you could be better off.
There will always be a loss of quality when deinterlacing.

Lars E.

I guess you are wondering if you can use your existing E*or DTV w/
MediaPortal? This is possible. You will have to have MP setup to change
channels on your satellite receiver and input that signal to your video
capture card. This is going to be my setup (and I probably believe lot
of others who use any htpc w/ satellite or...

I was just looking through the source and it appears that there is already a transcoding library as part of core that will convert dvr-ms to mpeg on the fly, not sure how it is implemented or how to use the feature, but it looks like it is there already.

I've got a Bachelors in Java programming and expanded into a Masters in .Net programming. And I honestly think you should learn C#, GUI/Web development on the .net/Mono plattform is WAY better than Java and commandline/library is not worse, IMO better.

Hi,

Am I correct in believing that using Girder with the USBUIRT I do not need to select the MP option to use USBUIRT for input to MP? That in fact Girder and USBUIRT will work together independently of MP and that properly configured Girder will map USBUIRT IP inputs to MP keyboard commands.

Hello,
remember that when you record a tv-show with mp it´s no mpg-file (its a dvr-ms).
