[QUOTE="del_86, post: 341507, member: 79571"] If i may be so greedy, i have a second question (linked to the first) that i hope one of you teccy guys could help me with :ooops::sorry: Part of the reason i tried media portal in the first place during the summer was due to problems i was having with MCE 2005 (which i think are linked to XP SP3 ) and relate to the quality of tv picture Most tv channels in MCE2005 have an acceptable "live" picture/broadcast, but Channel 4 and E4 amongst others stutter. I've tried all sorts of tricks with drivers etc, but cant seem to fix it. Howver, the picture, even the recorded TV programmes with said stutter, plays fine on the 360 Extender. To muddy the waters further, if i try watching one of these programmes within Media Portal (DVRMS format) the stutter is there. However, if i install the Media Portal TV server & set up my Nova T within Media Portal, the Live TV picture on Channel 4 , E3 etc is fine ??? How can this be ?? :o Thanks again for your time. ps - i've just set up the basic Media Portal (without TV Server) with the Christmas Blue theme and its brilliant !!!! If i can only get the 360 to play Media Portal Recorded TV easily i reckon i could persuade my better half to give it another go !!! Cheers, Del [/QUOTE]
