[QUOTE="Valharion, post: 629371, member: 105222"] Hey guys thought I'd chime in as a fellow Kiwi. I've been using MediaPortal for years now since a friend converted me from Windows Media Center. I've always had major problems with getting the right codecs for our channels. TV3 in particular always gave me audio sync'ing issues/time delay. Recently I read the following post: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/finally-i-have-correct-playback-all-my-various-multimedia-files-82443/#post629369[/url] and followed the instructions which cleared everything up and now it works perfectly. I started out with an old PC, onboard video and using 3.5mm cable from the back of the onboard sound card. I think the one bit of advice is not to cheap out on hardware. Do it right or don't bother because you will get what you pay for :) Once I realised the difference good hardware makes I saved up and built a new box from scratch using Nvidia graphics, multiple hard disks (timeshifting, recording) and even a nice Antec case with MiniDisplay on the front. Now days when I see Sky advertising there 'My Sky HDI' boxes I just laugh. [/QUOTE]
