I also use the GB-PVR recording service. it's nice to now that tv will be recorded aslong as my pc is on.
would be good if media portal had a tv service so when media portal crashes i don't lose what i'm recording.

Hi,
As I found no real solution to make the remote keyboard work on my windows xp home installation, I decided to explore some options myself :) Once you followed through, the keyboard should have full navigation and keyboard functionality.
The solution is actually quiet easy:

Hey all, I spent the time to make a logo image for each channel on my cable service (out of Phoenix, Arizona). I started off using the swedish .psd file and decided to size the logos at 32x32 pixels. I found that if the images are bigger, they end up getting resized down on the tv and in the webinterface which I use frequently. So...

RE: card propereties
I have not found a driver with the ability to change the encoder settings. I'm using the registry editor now. The driver I used = "NVTV single tuner PAL mediaportal working.rar" The other driver is newer but has the "gray screen" problem (dvxplore.sys). There is a topic covering that subject. If somebody has...

I bought a DVI to HDMI converter, set my resolution to 1280*720 (which is what I used previously with component) and now not only do I have a crisp and clear DVB-T picture (which I had with component) but my analog input is now crisp & clear and just as good if not better than direct input to the TV.

Before anyone tweaks, MCE apparently encrypts recordings that are made for pay channels such as HBO. These steps describe how to convert them to MPG using Graphedit.

When watching movie with a video projector i use Videolan VLC as external video player with the plugin Myprogram.

I'm having some issues in MP where the subtitles are forced, no matter what settings I choose in haali media splitter or directvobsub or MP. Also, dman_lfc told me today that when directvobsub is invoked, DXVA is disabled. This is detrimental to playback, especially of 720p and greater content.

As a side note - APE files aren't entirely supported in MP yet, so when browsing My Music, the track time doesn't display correctly on each line (either says 0:00 or some other random time which will be the same for all tracks - mine says 3:42 a lot) - however it does display correctly when playing a track. Odd!

I'm sure that you must have put something wrong inside the database, because if the Hauppauge IR blaster config utility can change the channels so should MP also.
The field bExternal only tells MP to use the IR-blaster. So a 0 here means no use of blaster and 1 means use blaster. So the first thing to get working is the changing of...

Wow I just tried that SQL Analyzer program and I am still clueless!

This sounds tempting enough to give it a try. I've a had a ocelot running for years now and only recently started with MP. I guess I can do the same batch file approach with the file runner capability of the basic home automation plugin?
Does the Ocelot accept these commands while running it's own program, or will this only work if...

What we really need is an additional entry always at the top of the list - 'Re-scan existing frequencies' So people could do an initial scan of all frequencies then after that just re-scan the ones where channels were already found which won't change, unless you move area. That would cover all options
