    Get divorced and then you can spend as much time as you like.
    The downsides are No money to upgrade your htpc.
    As this is the most expensive answer you could receive, I would seriously consider high's option for a fraction of the above cost.

    :wink:

    zion22 - Stay up late working on it while they are sleeping! Make sure you save the existing folder so you can re-install incase you booger (technical term - I'd be surprised if you didn't know what it meant) it up! I did that working on a project that I loved a few years back while trying to keep sanity in the house. But I was killing myself by only getting two hours of sleep. Needless to say it didn't last very long.

    MP1 MP2 Audio/Music output not stereo. 2.41, 2.5, 1.38.3 DE
    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...

    MP1 MP2 XMLTV not populating guide? Can anyone help? DE
    I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...

    MP1 MP2 An installation report - older hardware and why I used 1.33 not 1.38 DE
    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    Thanks guys. Ok, spent the (whole) weekend on this lol. First; TVHeadend/Kodi.... Nah. Given up on that - 'non-tech'; its horrible. 'Tech' - a few reasons but mostly that it is buggy.
