Hello everyone,
First of all, I have to admit that I tried Windows Media Center 2005 a few weeks ago when I was extremely frustrated because I could not make MediaPortal to work in a decent way on my computer... Windows Media Center 2005 was easy to set up and configure, it is also somehow faster than MediaPortal (I own a very modest computer). But I did not like the way music was displayed and played... On the top of it I did not manage to make the TV to work... TV signal is very bad in my area, it is not my main concern to be honest...
Let's come back to the main point of this post: MediaPortal. I like MediaPortal. I'm lovin' it! Guys, you are doing such a good work!
I have a couple of questions to make you, they are actually my first two questions on this forum (hello world!).
1- How can you make the Green Button to work in Windows XP Pro? I would like it to load MediaPortal the way it loads Media Center in Windows Media Center 2005. I would like not to have to walk to the computer and load MediaCenter once I am seated in the sofa... Yes, I am very lazy!
2- How can you make the Electronic Program Guide to download the data it needs? I am now living in London (UK) and I cannot make it work. Any hint? The TV reception is bad, but I would like to make it work just to feel good. To be honest I do not watch TV, but it is sort of a challenge...
That'a all for today. I am looking forward for your help.
Thank you very much!
Trailboy.
