MP1 MP2 SKY Through TV Card DE
Arbie I'm no expert in this area but if you're connecting through the RF leads, you will need to tune your TV card to receive the SKY signal, just as you would BBC 1. I think the channel used by your Sky box can be dispalyed on the the Pace setup screen. Regards Steve

Hi, The cable mentioned here does not work with nVidia cards. Those cards do not deliver the needed synch-signals (sync on green or composite-sync).

I run an old Pioneer "cinemascreen" projection tv, with an aspect ratio of 3:2 as opposed to 4:3 as most tv's, or 16:9 for widescreen tv's. By driving the television with a resolution with the same aspect, in my case 720x480, that allows video to be played correctly. Setting the aspect ratio in MediaPortal to 4:3 / tv aspect...

Yes, that's the one. And if you want the CyberLink filter to be used, then you need to change the Merits to make the CyberLink one higher - I would suggest you try increasing the CyberLink to, say 0x41000000, rather than reducing the Mpeg2Dec Merit. Sorry, I don't know anything about Gabest.....maybe someone else can advise?

MP has support for reading those tags by default (I think it is actually the tagreader you found, but it is now integrated in MP). So you you should not add extra things. If you are having problems with reading those tags post a message in the support area of the forums.
