    Hi there,

    How are you planning on doing this? The only way of really achieving this is to buy a DVB-S2 card (any will do it) and then get a card reader for your PC. However this is against your terms and conditions for your sky contract so details of how to do this are not readily available on the forum as clearly no one want't so encourage this sort of activity.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    MP1 MP2 An installation report - older hardware and why I used 1.33 not 1.38 DE
    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
