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.

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply. The reason was I had unchecked the Windows Media Player item in Windows 10 Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows features on or off as I didn't need it, without thinking that it was needed by MediaPortal. I kept the "Media...

    I have wanted to create a skin for MePo for years, but lack of free time due to other time demanding creative output (i.e. hobbies) I have not gotten past creating mockups of my skin ideas for when I could have time in the future. But, the future seems to be here now, with the AI explosion, good or bad. I've never tried using AI...
