[QUOTE="Marvin Miller, post: 1067292, member: 146489"] Hi Folks! I could use some quick advice about what will be involved in changing over from Windows Media Center 7 w/ single Colossus over to Media Portal. First, Is there a guide provided with Media Portal? If not, what do you do? I'm using a stock Media Center remote and usb receiver along with the Hauppauge IR Blaster to control a set top box - will this work? I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 TB in series and movies recordings all recorded in H.264 in the .WTV container. Would Media Portal be able to make use of the metadata and that file format? Can you selectively delete channels in the guide? We get something like 900 channels of which I only list about 80 or so. Is there native Blue-Ray support? Lastly, I have about 650 future recordings scheduled (mostly movies) - is there any way to port that information over into Media Portal? How about Series recording histories? Has anyone done any work on exporting/importing that info into Media Portal? Also, any 'gotchas' that I might have missed? Can an install be banged out quickly?
