[QUOTE="joshcrd, post: 853674, member: 121514"] Hi All, First post so I hope this hasn't been covered already. I've searched the forums and seen lots of threads about running foxtel directly through an HTPC (ie getting rid of foxtel set top box and using mediaportal as the EPG) I don't think I have the time/effort/hardware for this so I'm happy to keep my foxtel set top box and remote, and just add it as a source through MP for example: I turn on my TV and mediaportal is the first thing that comes up, I can select videos, music, tv etc but I want to add another menu item that says foxtel (or something else) so I select that source then start using my foxtel remote as per normal I have regular foxtel digital (through Optus) no HD or IQ or anything, at the moment it's connected to the TV through RCA so I'm not really concerned about any loss in picture quality as it's average already, I have the HTPC on HDMI1 on my tv and currently if I want to watch foxtel I change the TV channel to a different channel my HTPC is running the following hardware: [COLOR=#000000][URL='http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=19181'][COLOR=#000000]ASUS E45M1-I-DELUXE M-ITX Motherboard[/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][URL='http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6793'][COLOR=#000000]Hauppauge HVR2200 MCE PCIe Dual Hybrid[/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][URL='http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=18121'][COLOR=#000000]Silverstone SG05 Black Cube with 450W[/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][URL='http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=13930'][COLOR=#000000]4g RAM[/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][URL='http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16324'][COLOR=#000000]Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB HDD[/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]60gig SSD (for windows and mediaportal)[URL='http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16324'][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
