Yes - could be the case. It seems that they are not certifying software yet, but software that meets certain criteria that runs on approved hardware can be certified - all rather confused!

Damn right, there is a HUGE difference between freeware and opensource. Like Frodo said, this is released under the GPL, I suggest you have a read of it. Its good to see this reassurance coming from 'da man! :twisted:

I'm evaluating MediaPortal because Micro$oft just isn't interested in creating a product that can be used in Europe. They certainly proved that with the latest TV Pack fiasco/scandal. (No DVB-C, h.264 etc). No HD (and even no SD for some) is a no go for most people I guess. MediaPortal/TVServer is still not stable enough, but I have...

You can set up AVG to update the virus definition on next computer start and not notify you when it does. This will make the experience seamless. Also, AVG uses 3MB of RAM on my setup. AVG will also work great for those of you that have replaced the windows shell with MP on startup.

Well I installed MP on friday afternoon and most of the stuff worked without a hitch. The biggest problem was tweaking it for performance (I only have a thuderbird 800, which is struggeling) I still have some things to learn or setup but my first impression is very good. The EPG works for most of my channels (The Netherlands) only...

If you connect your TV via DVI->HDMI you can achieve 50Hz which will give you the most smooth picture. Problem is that Samsung does not offer 1:1 pixel mapping via HDMI only via VGA. The VGA port only allows 60Hz. (I've got a LE40R51 connected to my 6600LE via HDMI)

Argus has a rest API that allows XBMC to set & follow watched point markers. I don't think MP TV Server has that for XBMC (yet?). However, you can't look at XBMC as full featured for PVR use as it's limited to the features of the poorest TV server it supports (I think that's TV Headend - don't bother looking at that). I used to get...
