[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1068756, member: 82144"] MediaPortal 1 does, and MediaPortal 2 should do as well. It is the blaster aspect that is more problematic. MP 1 wasn't designed to support blasters. They only work via plugins. MP 2 will improve that situation in time... but not immediately. To be clear, you can plug in one or more Colossuses (Colossae? :) ) and MP 1 will detect them, and you'll be able to view whatever is connected to the inputs. The issue is adding control of set top boxes on top of that. I'm not sure of the exact reason why DX9 is required, but I definitely wouldn't use the term revert. The requirement may be for something as simple as support for using joysticks and other [stranger] input devices to control MediaPortal (ie. DirectInput) and nothing to do with video/GPU stuff. Either way, you don't have to uninstall or downgrade DX11 or worry about blocking updates. Quite frankly I'd advise not to think too hard about this; go ahead and install MP 1 and see how far you get. :) [/QUOTE]
