[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1266561, member: 74879"] There is no simple yes or no for that. MP2 is the more modern solution but in the end it depends on what you are looking for. If you have been using Windows Media Center until now I would recommend MP2 and its WMC skin to give you the same user experience. Some people prefer the look of MP1 with its very 'colorful' skins, others like more the leaner presentation of MP2. Matter of Taste. You can give both versions a whirl but keep in mind that the user interfaces are different. New users easily find their way in MP2 while movers who come from MP1 often have some startup difficulties. No If your sound card is recognized by Windows then the answer is no. Yes, however, you need to add each m3u as a virtual IPTV tuner in the configuration. MP2 has a client/server architecture so you need both client and server part. If you want to use IPTV you anyway do need the server in MP2 or the TVServer in MP1. [/QUOTE]
