[QUOTE="denyart, post: 23410, member: 15816"] I have been paining with a MCE2005 box for several months now. It basically works, but I would like to try Media Portal to see if it can do more of what I want and less of what I don't. I want an interface that will start fullscreen at windows startup and allow my ATI Remote Wonder to control it. I want it to have pictures, videos, movies (i.e. divx, xvid, etc), and live&recorded TV (both analog NTSC and digital ATSC). MCE does this, but the whole DRM issue and constant little problems are making me look elswhere to see if it is greener on the other side. My main concern is getting live and recorded HDTV and regular analog tv to work better. I have an overclocked mobile athlon running on my Abit board (mobile=less heat) at 2.2GHz, so my processor should be adequate if the hardware acceleration of my nvidia 6600GT AGP video card and purevideo decoder can be used. Is there an answer in Media Portal, or does anyone know of any other software I could look into instead of MP or MCE? My hardware should be in my signature. Thanks [/QUOTE]
