2 of the 150's would be cheaper, wouldn't they do the same thing as the 1 500??
If not, what would the differences be??

Thanks,
Cluck

    2 x 150 does the same as a 500, butt 2 x 150......

    1. Takes up more space in your computer, look at future expandabillity.
    2. Requires 2 antenna connections
    3. Consumes more power

    A PVR500MCE is just a cleaner way of doing it.

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...

    Thanks for the update on this. I should have searched before posting, always assume it is something I have done wrong.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Thanks very much, Jasmeet. Worked. But note that this setting has moved, apparently, to: Settings > TV (not Plugins)
