Need help setting up the EPG... (1 Viewer)

[cdahmedeh]

Hello,

I am a total newbie to this program and just finished setting up my All-In-Wonder X800XT on MediaPortal. Everything works flawlessly execpt one thing : The TV listings. I would like a simple by step guide to show me how to setup my TV Listings for Ottawa, Canada. Also I have a couple of questions :

-How can I change the input source (TV Tuner, Composite, S-Video) ?
-How can I setup my Remote Wonder II to work with MediaPortal

Thanks for the support and hope this replaces the crappy ATI Multimedia Center !

EDIT : Woops I almost forgot, why does MediaPortal lag when using the secondary display. It also refuses to full screen on the secondary display.

- Tuner inputs will be listed as "channels" on the EPG

- Not sure if this still works, the lat update was 2005, but take a look at:

Woops I almost forgot, why does MediaPortal lag when using the secondary display. It also refuses to full screen on the secondary display.

MediaPortal can not run properly on a secondary display. It can run on your second monitor (or TV set) only if you set it up as "primary screen".

This is because MediaPortal uses DirectX 9 acceleration and Windows XP is only able to support DirectX 9 acceleration on primary screen. Thus the display used for MediaPortal needs to be the first or "primary" display in windows.
