[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 514981, member: 72093"] Nothing to do with MediaPortal - it has come on by leaps and bounds and is the front end for my HTPC (Sky, FreeSat & FreeView). But the new Sky card doesn't work (Digital Everywhere & T-Rex cam, legal card). When they finally kill my old blue card I think I may just as well ditch Sky - there is 'stuff all' I watch on it (I think the ONLY thing I can't get is House). My overall opinion is that Sky are shooting themselves in the foot (or maybe the head). I REALLY don't want to pay Sky £10 a month for the 'privilege' of recording TV that I already pay for. So I think I'll be down to FreeView/Sat. Then again I can buy boxes that record these cheaply too, maybe MP will go too. I hope not, but it does cost a fair chunk of electricity to keep the server going - some standalone boxes use a couple of Watts when not in use. Why is life never easy...? [/QUOTE]
