I have just setup a new HTPC with twin Haupauge tuners and running Vista Media centre.

I'm a bit disapointed that I can't use PIP feature in Vista MC.

Does MediaPortal have the PIP feature?

    No, sadly it doesn't. Many people have asked for it but there is only so much the Developers can do with their limited time.
    AFAIK, MythTV is the only true HTPC software that can do PIP.
    So if it is essential for you, I guess you have 2 choices, join the Devs and code PIP for us (please) or run MythTV...

    BTW. Welcome to Mediaportal :)

    Cheers,

    I've used MythTV for ages. I had picture in picture working too.

    I went, "oooooooh, that's really cool." and never used it again.

    You can always try, select any window, turn off the Media Portal, change the ID of the selected one to the desired one (plugin) and check.

    Good. I am pleased that that is now working for you. :) If you have ever looked at MP debug log files, you may have noticed that apparent errors are not rare, but these are "errors" that do not affect the functioning of the product. (It is not desirable to have these errors in the log file, as it misleads users, testers, and...

When I switch to the HTPC the screen goes blank for a long time and then I have sound, no picture, and in the lower left hand corner: "Source: HDMI 1 Not...
