[QUOTE="Koschel, post: 403107, member: 12295"] Building a well working HTPC is much more difficult than most of the "newbies" think. Just like others here, I'm using MediaPortal + TV Server since the early releases two years ago. During the whole year 2008 your HTPC in the living room was only working as expected, nothing else. On one hand I can understand the problems "newbies" and sometimes even advanced run into.... but....on the other hand for nearly all of the questions there is an answer here in the forum. Maybe some users are afraid to ask, cause they think: "It could be a silly question from a newbie" - Well, there are no silly question. No one of the former or actual teammembers started his HTPC-project as an expert. All of us had to learn and to ask. As infinityloop often said, you can even read it in the Wiki: Keep away from "tuning tools". A dedicated HTPC as no playground for testing programs and tools, it's no office-pc neither a game-pc. Maybe one reason for a lot of the problems user run into is, that nearly no one reads the manual or the Wiki, is to "lazy" to search the forum or is an HTPC expert by nature Sorry for some hard words, but it had to be said. Have an nice easter weekend and enjoy your HTPC with MediaPortal. [/QUOTE]
