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.

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

Not going to make this long winded or anything, but just to point out over the @15 years I've overall donated several hundred quid. And I begrduge NONE of it, not a penny - I do wish MP well - 100%. It is an awesome...

    There is a conflict as you have said between WinTV ad MP TV. MP TV takes over the Hauppauge HVR-1265 card. I may be even getting more channels with it. The Titan TV worked great until last year. Now it will not run the scheduler. WinTV scheduler will let me program manually but I have to set a program for each day. If I try to set...

    Did a bit of research: Of the plugins (in Mediaportal Plugin Team) only moving pictures tests uses 3.5 Mediaportal itself even uses 2.0 for some (obscure?) parts. Maybe we can unifiy it to say 4.7.2 as that is the main dependency of MediaPortal https://mediaportal.atlassian.net/browse/MP1-5254
