[QUOTE="mkuron, post: 203612, member: 60092"] I'm looking at setting up a MediaPortal-based HTPC instead of buying a HD-capable DVR. Since I'll be powering a 1080p LCD screen, I have a few questions about MediaPortal's HD capabilities: - Does MediaPortal support MPEG4-encoded DVB-C TV (which is the standard for HD cable in Germany)? - Does MediaPortal support recording TV content in HD? - Does MediaPortal support HD content (e.g. pay-TV) that requires to be output through an HDCP-protected digital output? - How well is MediaPortal able to upscale SD content to 1080p? - Is MediaPortal able to automatically switch screen refresh rate depending on the video content played back (e.g. 50p when playing PAL video/DVD, 60p when playing NTSC video/DVD, 24p when playing Blu-ray/HD-DVD? - How can I play DVDs from any region on MediaPortal (i.e. make it code-free)? - Does MediaPortal allow me to manually set a delay on the audio to lip-sync it to the video? (I am just asking this because most new HD-DVD and Blu-ray players support this since it's a part of the HDMI 1.3 standard.) - Is it possible yet to play back HD-DVDs / Blu-ray discs in MediaPortal?
