[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1205970, member: 82144"] The "update satellite list" function gets the latest satellite transponder details from FastSatFinder.com. Sometimes it takes a few days for FSF to update their lists (AFAIK they do it on Saturdays???) after a change. This is out of our control. In any case, to say that the list is "[B]never [/B]up to date" is surely an unfair exaggeration. In TVE 3 (current TV Server) all single transponder scans require tuning details to be manually entered. Therefore this statement is simply false. I assume when you say "fastscan" you mean some kind of network information table (NIT) scan. TVE 3.5 supports a new NIT scan mode which will be faster than the current NIT scan in TVE 3. However, for this to work, the TV provider must provide the required information. Unfortunately many providers don't do that. If yours does, consider yourself lucky. Might I ask why? One of the major points of having an HTPC is that it should be more flexible and powerful than an STB or TV. If everything has to be done through a front end with "10 foot" design and limited UI elements (ie. just like an STB or TV) then many of the major advantages of an HTPC are lost. The HTPC becomes just a dumb STB replacement. Personally I'd have no interest in a system like that. If that's what you want, maybe WMC would suit you better. MP is not designed to be this way. Hah! Just remember your STB has been specifically designed to work with your provider (Canal Digitaal). TV Server must work with [B]all [/B]providers from all around the world. It's a much harder job for us. ;) Again, it sounds like you should be using WMC or other instead of MP. From my perspective that's no problem. Like Rick164 says: MP has a niche, and that niche is not the dumb STB replacement that you seem to want. If MP doesn't meet your needs, move on to something that does. :) [/QUOTE]
