[QUOTE="excalibur, post: 39866, member: 18568"] [b]MP 0.1.3. Now running but no EPG - and TV-out not sharp[/b] Hi, I have had a strenuous week-end... Gave up on MP and went with MythTV. After 2 long nights of grief I gave up on Linux. Even KnoppMyth, which should be 'out of the box' with my HW was not giving in to my efforts. :x Back to WinXP SP2 and MediaPortal. I prepped the PC: - updating DirectX to 9b but couldn't get it past this, so I found a loophole. 'DirectX Eradicator' which removes DirectX. Then I downbloaded DirX 9c and 9b and copied the cab-files from 9c to 9b dir extracted to my disk. This way camouflaging the 9c. Then I ran the 9b setup and it worked. Now I am at Directx 9c... :wink: PROBLEM 1: TV-Out is somewhat blurry - Monitor is tac sharp - Then I downloaded the latest Nvidia Geforce 4 driver and installed this instead of the one on my supplied driver CD. Shock and awe - I had TV-Out. :shock: I still have problem reading the text in both the Windows GUI and in MP though. It is actually so unsharp I can't read sub-titles. So I hope this can get better. Any hints anyone. Graphicscard is GeForce4 TI-4200, 128 MB VideoRAM. - Finally I downloaded and installed the .Net 1.1 without any problems. So Now I was ready for the big Caboo - MediaPortal 0.1.3. I saw poor response on my HW mentioned in initial post with MP 0.2. RC2. So this time I went for the older stable MP. - This installed nicely, and I upgraded with the recommended Video codecs. - MP-Setup: Eventhough Hauppage WinTV 2000 did not tune successfully, MP did! So I had picture and could associate the channels to right frequensies. Success :lol: PROBLEM 2: EPG - Eventually it was time to get the EPG going and I checked after setup, but EPG contains all sorts of channels from the UK that I don't have. But I only get EPG info on approx 5 channels. I have verified and rerun the procedure: - Remove TV channels from the MP-setup/Television/EPG - Run Grabber with 7 days, short description, tv_dk_conf or whatever this file is called. The one for Denmark. - It grabs much information and I see that the file xmltv\Guide.xml takes up approx 40 MB. How do I clean the EPG and starts over with only the channels that I Manually tuned into in the setup? :?: Thanks again Morten [/QUOTE]
