[QUOTE="darrenkarp, post: 57143, member: 21119"] Hi All, As the title suggests I'm a newbie to MediaPortal. So new in fact that I have yet to download and install it. Before I embark on this quest I have a few questions I'd like to ask. I'm currently running MCE 2005 but am getting fed up with its instability (despite having all approved hardware in my system) and more importantly the fact that in order to watch it in other rooms I have to go and buy an expensive Xbox 360! On to my questions in no particular order: 1. Will MediaPortal run on a box with MCE 2005 as its OS? 2. I have 2 x Sky STB's connected to a PVR 150 and PVR 250 tuner card, is this setup okay with MediaPortal? 3. Can MediaPortal use my MCE remote to operate and send channel changes to the STB as the currently do now? 4. As I am in the UK, how complex or tedious is it getting a EPG? That's the short list of questions. Looking forward to some replies. Many thanks Darren [/QUOTE]
