I would like to begin using MediaPortal for all of my media. Currently I have a set-top hdtv PVR box from brighthouse that I watch all my TV from. When I watch movies and listen to movies I switch to Mediaportal. (I cant watch dvds from mediaportal, as it just freezes, or does nothing.. but thats a different story) What is the easiest, way to get mediaportal to do the recording and playback of my hdtv? Id like to be able to record 2 shows at once, and get full HDTV capability. Im thinking that I will need a way to control the set top box from mediaportal in some way. Sorry for such a newbie question, but I have not found the information I need from a search. I guess Im a search newbie as well. Thanks
