[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 373680, member: 53582"] I've asked that question here before and got no replies so it looks like no one is, but I intend to - the one (and only) thing I "miss" about MCE was that if you set a programme to record every week you got it - OK with MP you do too, but if the programme starts or ends at a different time you end up with a stack of "Manual" recordings, and I hate that :mad: - may as well have a video tape with nothing written on it (and I built my HTPC to get away from that!) - FTR seems to fix this and much more (e.g. type in the name of an actor and tell it to record any movie with that person in it; how cool is that?) I've had one go at setting FTR up but didn't have too much luck. I use DVB-S for my EPG and XMLTV is the preferred EPG so I'm going to have a go at it again soon using one of the XMLTV links posted earlier in this thread (not Revens XMLTVNZ - I found it too frustrating when I used to use it) Make sure you've got a good "ghost" app if you're going to give FTR a go - as you say, it replaces pretty much everything to do with TV and I would NEVER rely on windows "restore"to do a roll back if things don't work out... The next time I get a rainy weekend I'll give FTR another go - I'll post my progress... If you get it up and running let us know how you get on/any tweaks required :) Cheers Dave [/QUOTE]
