Next question - I had previously recorded a programme in .ts format.  When I updated to RC2 and imported recorded programmes into the database - all the mpeg ones showed up in Recorded TV but not  the .ts one.  Now I have no idea what .ts even is or if there is any special trick to replaying - any ideas?  I do know that when I simply find the file in Windows Explorer I can't play it in a player - windows doesn't have a player to play it - Mpeg files will play in Windows Media Player.  Anyone help out here?  Oh one other question - does MP support playback of MPeg4?Next question <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> - I don't have a HD TV yet and am thinking of getting one.  My video card is a Gigabyte 8600 silent which of course has the TV out with converter for either SVideo or Component.  Now I assume I could obtain a DVI to HDMI converter and just go direct from the DVI port to the HDMI input on the TV (or AV Receiver)?  Question is - would this be any better quality wise than using the component out?  Not sure about this digital stuff (or anything else for that matter),Thanks for your help.Cheers<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
