hi,

just to confirm, the mediaportal video and audio will be shown to tv via hdmi right? Also, since mediaportal is running on an existing os ie winxp, wont winxp/other apps also be shown at the tv?

thx

    Adding the TV as a second display and extend the desktop to the tv. You can run MediaPortal on the TV
    Other applications will be displayed on the primary display, unless you move it the the TV.
    In MediaPortal you can select witch audio-device MP should be using when playing music,tv etc.. To separate MP-sound from normal windows sound you need 2 audio-devices (one on hdmi for MP)

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...
