[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 545181, member: 84335"] Hi and welcome :) 1. I think most people would agree that 7 is a preferable OS. 2. In regard to what? 3. Its what MP uses to run the TV service. You need it if you are planning on using MP to watch TV. The MP installer will install SQL for you. When it asks for a password, just type 'MediaPortal'' (case-sensitive) 4. As far as MP goes, SAF should allow you to play pretty much all common media formats. SAF is not a codec solution for other aspects of the PC - its designed for MP. If you want to use another media player apart from MP's inbuilt for tasks separate from MP use, consider VLC or MPC-HC - neither of which require additional codec installs which may interfere with SAF. If you are just running MP, SAF is very good. [/QUOTE]
