[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1266250, member: 141969"] One caution before you spend too much time trying to get this to work: be aware that [b]MP cannot handle protected content[/b]. This applies both to MP1 and MP2. WMC can handle protected content without problem, using (I think) the "PlayReady" software. But to become authorised for this is very expensive (I have seen a figure of $100000 quoted, but that may have been someone's guess). If you currently receive and record protected content, and want to continue to do so, or you want to be able to play protected recordings that you have already made, WMC on Windows 7 is pretty much the only choice. I [i]think[/i] that Silicon Dust have created DVR software that can receive live protected content, but it is not yet able to record it. Aside: I will be continuing to use MP on [b]Windows 7[/b] for the foreseeable future; I don't intend downgrading to Windows 10 anytime soon. :D -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
