[QUOTE="Bascombe, post: 145186, member: 13860"] The xcard is still a great piece of hardware if you're hooking it up to a standard def set - even for hi-def, I've heard it gives great results over component. THe only problem is mediaportal doesnt fully support it. If you have a tv card, you can configure it to display the image on the tv via the xcard, and there appears to be a way to set it up to use the real magic remote, unfortunately there doesnt seem to be a way to get the osd on the screen at the moment. I still visit these forums regularly in the hope that some inspired individual will have developed a plugin that facilitates full xcard support, and come the day when I get a hi-def display (still quite a way off), I can see myself ditching the xcard and going the graphics card/mediaportal route. In the meantime, its TVedia 3.5 (still eminently functionaly, but looking very dated and with no bda driver support) or bust! Cheers, Bascombe [/QUOTE]
