[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1173867, member: 103549"] Hello David. You cannot use MediaPortal 1.x alone as a streaming data source to your LG TV, you use the TV as a monitor in effect, so you will need HDMI cable from PC to the LG TV - audio over HDMI if you want or separate to AV Receiver or external amp/sound bar. If that's not how you intend to watch content, then MediaPortal 1.x [1.13 is current release] is not the solution and never will be. MPExtended is needed [U][COLOR=#000000]over and above[/COLOR] [/U]the MediaPortal client see- [URL]http://www.**************/[/URL] as starting point. MediaPortal 2 will [not sure how far it's progressed] provide streaming I believe BUT [[U]very BIG BUT[/U]], MediaPortal 2 IS still alpha [CORRECTION/edit - as Lehmdem points out - BETA - apologies all round] release - not complete by any means and still in continuous development. No TV card - means no 'on air' TV service, you may be able to access IPTV services [no idea which ones - sorry], but your existing or new stored content [Movies, Series, Photographs, Videos & Music] are all supported, as are other features via plugins [one's I use are , Weather, Cinema listing - these may NOT be viable via MPExtended] - you can add TV card & capability later if needed without ANY loss of function or major reworking. PC connected to TV is 'client', it can however have content locally or on another server/NAS, as well as mix of local and networked device, all comes down to how you configure it. I hope this is of some assistance, even it's just to cut your losses on MePo sooner rather than later. TTFN - JCMP [/QUOTE]
