Good evening

You just press F11, and the screenshot is saved to My Documents\My Pictures\MediaPortal Screenshots\<date>\ for the user account you're logged into. For posting, simply attach the image as if it is any other attachment and the forum software will post it nicely for you.

I assume you're talking about the "fallback deinterlace mode" in MediaPortal configuration->TV. My setting is "none". I assume the PDVD 10 codec (that I use for all video) or the graphics card picks up the need for deinterlacing.

I'm on 10.4 as I said earlier. I rarely upgrade because (1) it works well already, and (2) I don't game. Mostly I'd just rather not fiddle with drivers any more unless there is a good reason to do so. Within CCC though I think it is important to make sure things are set up correctly. FYI, my [relevant] settings:

------------------
Display Options
------------------
3D refresh rate override = same as desktop [*important*]

--------------------------------------------------------------------
3D (mostly not important for MP - more for games I think)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Smoothvision HD anti-aliasing:
- use application settings = true
- filter = box

Smoothvision HD anisotropic filtering
- use application settings = true

Catalyst AI
- disable Catalyst AI = false
- level = standard

Minimap Detail Level
- level = high quality

Wait for vertical refresh
- level = on unless application specifies [*important*]

Adaptive anti-aliasing
- enabled
- level = quality

OpenGL settings
- triple buffering = off

--------
Video
--------
Basic colour
- use application settings = on

Advanced colour
- video gamma = off

Basic quality (*important*)
- use automatic deinterlacing = off [*important*]
- level = vector adaptive [*important*]
- pulldown detection = on [*important*]

Advanced quality
- edge enhancement = off [*important*]
- de-noise = off [*important*]
- enable dynamic contrast = off [*important*]

Video playback
- enforce smooth video playback = on [*important* - ensures you don't set preferences that your card can't handle]

Hope that helps, although I've heard that AMD re-jigged the UI so I'm not sure whether my settings are comparable...

Edit
Regarding your EPG Collector question, have a look at the devcon command.
