Hi,

I can buy a FireDTV-S pretty cheap and i wonder if it would be stupid to do so?
Will there be channels i can't watch in the near future?

Live in Sweden and use Canal Digital.

Regards Thomas

    THe Floppy S is not able to receive any HD-Channels. I don't know if you have a lot of HD-Channels in Sweden, I can only speak for Germany, we don't have pretty much HD-Channels right now and in the near future.
    If you don't want to watch HD-Channels in the near future the Floppy S is a good choice, if you want to be prepared for the future you ought to buy a Floppy S2

    I have Canal digital to and got a FloppyDTV-S2 yesterday. I could watch the 8 HD channels i have (and yous should have them to) except that my computer is little to slow for HD :(

    I suspect the number of HD channels will increase allot in the future but you can always start with the S variant if its really cheap and later upgrade to S2 to get the HD channels.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.

    Hi, it looks like the Client's server connection settings got corrupted somehow and were reset, hopefully this is an easy fix. Open MP2-Client, navigate to Settings->General->Connectivity->Home server. In the menu on the left there may be an option Detach from home server, if there is click it and acknowledge the dialog that pops up...
