[QUOTE="mattyd, post: 154804, member: 52066"] Well, as a programmer myself i spent two months writing my own HT program. Worked ok and thought it was pretty cool. But then i discovered Mediaportal. Why did i waste my time. Now i have a full blown HTPC. Heres what i used..... Mediaportal. $0.00 AU Hauppage HVR-1300 $200.00 AU MCE Remote & Blaster $65.00 AU MyBlaster MP plugin $0.00 AU An average PC with a video card supporting 2 video outputs. EPG guide from Australian Community-based TV Guide. So with all the items above i have... Full Australian EPG with Digital Stations & Foxtel. Foxtel channel changing. S-Video on HVR-1300 for recording say a camcorder or other device. I use the PC's main video output connected to my TV. I use the PC's second monitor for surfing and other PC applications while not interrupting what MP is doing. Everything works without a hitch. Anybody wanting more detail let me know. PS. Great Job Mediaportal programmers, and hell i can write my own plugins if i need to (cant think of one to write at the moment though). Matt [/QUOTE]
