[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1171862, member: 74879"] MediaPortal supports cable cards out of the box. However, please do read this posting [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cablecard-tuner-support-for-mediaportal-1.112585/[/URL] as bug patches for your card could exist. That doesn't say much - can you provide a number please?. MediaPortal is software-based and therefore cannot be as fast a dedicated hardware solution by nature, yet it's not that much slower. A good quantitative measurement for the change time is to start a channel and then use the TV(mini-)guide to select a different channel by pressing OK on your remote. Note that "Channel Up/Down" will include OSD display zap delays as defined in the TV Server setup, which extends the observed channel switch delay. [/QUOTE]
