Hi everyone,
First of all, what a breath of fresh air media portal is, i've had no end of trouble with mce 2005 and am glad to report that all my problems went away when i loaded up media portal. However I do have a couple of problems now if someone could shed some light on!
First of all, the MCE remote I'm using seems to be a little unstable with MP, its a Digitech Brand, new onto the market (MS Copy, im in australia, can get them for $20AUD if ppl r interested hehe). The remote works fine in MCE, however changing channels in MP just doesn't work at all, you need to out to the channel menu in the first screen to change channel. A lot of the functions on the remote just go no where, hitting the My Music or videos or anything does respond. Browsing around MP is fine though. I've tried various settings in the remote setup and had a look at the mapping but don't really know what I'm looking at.

The second problem I have is with the TV function. Its taken me a while to set up all the channels correctly, I'm having a little trouble (read - this is mostly working now) with some channels 'mis-matched' with EPG the guide. My main problem with the TV though is load times. If i hit 'my tv' it takes 30 seconds before the screen comes up then another 10 seconds before the TV 'switches on'. This is also tru for changing channels, takes maybe 15 seconds to change a channel. The tuner is a Leadtek 1000T.
I also have a Leadtek USB Dongle, however it does not get picked up by MP.
Sorry about the long post, probably don't make sense, but i'm at work, and spent all last night (read 2am) setting this up.
System Specs are nothing unusual:
AMD 3500+
Nvidia 6800 Ultra
Windows XP SP2
Leadtek 1000T Tuner
