    I have MP 0.2 RC3 running on my HTPC, do I have to uninstall/delete it before installing RC4 because of any major changes or can I just override RC3?

    Thanks, I am really looking forward to the new release candidate 8) .

    - Uninstall RC3
    - Delete the Installation directory

    Have another question regarding upgrade from RC3 to RC4.

    I have spent the last couple of days configuring my setup, so I don't want to do it again, witch files/folders do I need to backup and is it as simple as just copying them to another place and then copy them back after the RC4 install?

    Part of updates may be a slight difference in the database reading, and thats why they recommend a clean install, Yes we know it is a pain, so i would say, wait until there is some functionality you particularly want, or a bug that is affecting you, that has been resolved.
    The final release may not be too far in the distant future so have patience.

    Thanks, I made a clean reinstall and the RC4 works much better (eg starts up faster) than the RC3. I am really happy with it and look forward to the 0.2 Final release 8) .

    Great work everyone!

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters.

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    Yes, I saw that. Was beyond my understanding, however. Didn't see how to set that up. I'm a relative neophyte, who's done hardly any command-line coding. To be more specific: I don't see, under either "Grabbing Listings" or in the "First use example," where it is designated just where on one's C drive the tv.xml file is...

    I currently have two Quatros running, one connect, one duo using OTA antennae, mostly UHF fringe area, mostly cat5 local network. Hauppauge card retired long ago. I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...
