    It may be useful for you to state what country you are in and what provider(s) you wish to access via your dish. The answer regarding your epg may also require this information.

    Regarding your universal remote control, the short answer is 'yes'. For the longer answer (about how to do it), use the 'search' button above, select advanced search, and type the name [ie, 'Harmony'] of your remote then search in titles only

    Generally speaking its just a matter of programming your Universal as a standard remote (ie as a Windows Media Centre remote) and then using it with MP.

    I was wondering the same thing. I know that I would need to connect my receiver to the input of my media center, but can the media center become a DVR for the dish network receiver? Set the input to channel 3 on the media center and set the Dish network receiver to auto tune to the channel for recording.

    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

    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release. It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases. -- from CyberSimian in the UK
