[QUOTE="Norm Dressler, post: 847653, member: 119864"] Hi all, I'm new to MediaPortal but not new to HTPC's in general. I've been running one using Linux for many years. There were certain things missing from the current Linux products that pushed me to try a Windows solution. I got the TVServer setup with my Genpix Skywalker-II. I'm able to watch TV, EPG is working, and generally I'm pleased with the setup. I bought a new MCE remote and it worked out of the box - sure beats pissing around with LIRC :) I've even setup XBMC PVR on my AppleTV 1 and happily watching TV on it as well. A few questions though - 1) Is there a tool available that would allow me to make changes to the TVServer (like the GUI product there now) but from my laptop rather then the MediaPortal directly? 2) This question is an easy one - what plugins would people consider the 'must-haves' for an effective setup? Thanks Norm [/QUOTE]
