[QUOTE="TritonT, post: 189390, member: 26020"] The method I am suggesting requires you to do NO 'setting up' or 'mapping' in MediaPortal at all. I have always done all my messing with xmltv outside MediaPortal as it saves setup time if you reinstall MediaPortal SVN quite often. Here is my old postprocessor file (it is out of date now and you probably aren't the same region), [URL="http://www.typetech.org/mediaportal/altchnames.txt"]altchnames.txt[/URL] 1. No-one asks for cable, most common setup I'm seeing at the moment is 2 freeview tuners and 1 satellite tuner. 2. You can get HD on Virgin cable, but you can't get it out of the cable box and into MediaPortal, not only that you can't get it into your TV - it hasn't got HDMI or DVI. 3. No analog HD. 4. Your TV isn't really HD. I haven't tried that model but I have setup the model from the year after, took ages to get it running at properly at 1024x1024, so best of luck! 5. Haven't used the 500, but I don’t think it varies much in quality from the 150. Viewing the same channel on your freeview tuner is always going to be better quality than the analog card connected to your cable box. [/QUOTE]
