[QUOTE="NickName, post: 142091, member: 21675"] I believe the short answer is 'No'. This is a limitation of DirectX. Simply put, DirectX can only run on your Primary desktop, so therefore your extended desktop is out for MP. You could switch your Primary display to be TV and I have seen discussions in here somewhere where people swap primary with extended prior to running MediaPortal (MP) and then switch them back when quitting Mediaportal. At least I think that is what they were doing. (I didn't pay a lot of attention as I didn't need it) Just remember that whatever you do, you can't have "MP always on top" if you want to use the other screen as MP will be on top and stealing the focus from you. hope this helps, Nick Name.
