[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1074924, member: 109222"] Hi. A matter of balance between preconfigured behaviour and configurability... The product has to be usable right from the start. E.g. the user shouldn't be forced to do a channel scan before he can use TV. We ask for the country and see what TV tuners are available in the system. Based on this we can install predefined channel settings. I live in Germany and I have DVB-S2 tuners so I get Astra 19.2°E as preconfigured TV sources... But if the user wants to dig deeper (s)he has to be able to do so. That's why I'm asking for configuration on every part of a HTPC.... And that's the most weak part (aside of some good looking skins) on MP2 atm. I can not configure most of the parts I want to in an easy way... I can do most of the stuff I need, but therefore I have to fiddle around with XML files and/or manipulate the DB directly. Not a common task for average users. [/QUOTE]
