[QUOTE="The Doctor, post: 1206171, member: 62974"] Well. We have discussed the tv-server before. It didn't change than, so I believe it won't change now. I don't see why it has to be impossible to rescan a channel or transponder or whatever setting from the front-end. It just makes live easier for users. But argumenting every issue that I bring up will not solve it. If transponderlists would be uptodate even after a few weeks, then it would be no hassle to find a channel that is moved to another transponder or has its settings changed like roll-off or on, polarity etc. How come I always need the websites mentioned before to get the correct settings? Part of the fun is the customization you can do in MP, but there are limits. At times I just want it to work. If my family can't play a BluRay because it hangs somewhere at a menu.......well I can tell you BluRays are played with a standalone player just because of that. Whatever function is build into MP it should work without hassle. Take a look at watching pictures in MP, MP can play videos in a directory of photos. But how often does it stall ? Too often. I tried WMC, pretty stable but not so easy for sattelite reception, STB sattelite indeed very fast but no possibilty of recording uncoded programs (you need the cam and card to watch recordings). MP is nice, but difficult, not idiot-proof and what I said cannot cope with the latest media landscape. The thread is called: Is MP to die, I said why. So don't comment every thing i said.
