[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1167110, member: 141969"] I know bugger-all about using cable in the UK, but I was under the impression that all channels supplied via Virgin cable are encrypted using a proprietary encryption scheme that can be decrypted only by a Virgin box. If true, you could use MediaPortal to record TV [i]only[/i] if there is some way of getting the decrypted datastream out of the Virgin box and into your HTPC. Don't Virgin supply Tivo boxes? You would probably be better off getting a Tivo to record TV, rather than trying to use MediaPortal. But what do I know? -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
