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.

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.
