Why not have an option to use an external program to watch TV. This way you can bypass all incompartibility problems with software TV cards. At least until they get supported by mediaportal

I know but I would really prefer to use the main menu "TV button" . I want to make my HTPC my main attraction in the living room and in order to get the approval of the wife I have to make it as user friendly as possible.
What can I say ? Women ;)
Thanks very much for the reply anyway.

i love how subtitles are implemented in the MP2 videoplayer, this is just perfect. 1080p playback is also very good. But video playback in MP2 is buggy when playing 4k material. Therefore: PLEASE add an option for an external video player! I'd LOVE to have VLC back as videoplayer, like in MP1! This works perfectly. You will make a...

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
