[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1125119, member: 82144"] ComSkip can tax the CPU a bit, but TV Server itself shouldn't use many resources (regardless of how many tuners you have). For MediaPortal (front end): if you have a decent [B]GPU[/B] then you can offload the video decoding load from the CPU to the GPU. That's called hardware accelerated video decoding, or DXVA. This may make a bigger difference than many other adjustments you could make. It could be any one of a number of things. Post log files if you want assistance with this. Better: have a look at --> [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/guide-perfect-playback-display-calibration.119610/']this[/URL]<-- guide first, and post logs if you continue to have problems. It wouldn't be a case of [I]additional [/I]hardware. Rather, the tuner/demodulator hardware would simply need to support that format. This would almost certainly be outside TV Server's visibility/control. In other words, TV Server would just see an FM radio tuner, and not know whether it supported HD Radio or not. Note I'm not aware of any PC FM radio tuners that support HD Radio. Heck, I'd never even heard of HD radio before now. As for the station ID and other info: TV Server doesn't support [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System']RDS[/URL] due to lack of support in Microsoft's tuner framework. The same issues would apply for HD Radio info. If the tuner hardware/driver supported it then it'd be via a proprietary interface. We [I]could[/I] add support on a per-tuner basis if you could get documentation for the interface... but good luck with that. Many vendors are reluctant to release such information. No comment, except to say it is nothing to do with your monitor. Digital cable (clear QAM) and terrestrial broadcast tuners are indistinguishable to TV Server, because most "ATSC" tuners support both. Therefore prioritising the tuners will only serve to prioritise the digital cable [B]and[/B] terrestrial equally over analog. In other words, if you combine an SD terrestrial channel with an HD digital cable channel, there's nothing that you can do to guarantee which source would be selected. Which dates are you talking about? Not that I know of, unless you can use the remote configuration (or external program such as EventGhost) to generate the subtitle on/off command when you press mute. Pass for the first question, and probably not for the second question. Looked at the wiki? [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/8_Remote/11_MCE_Remote[/url] [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/8_Remote/Mapping_Buttons[/url] If your remote actually generates key presses for some of the buttons then it may help to enable the "generic HID" remote as well.
