[QUOTE="chrisuk76, post: 423445, member: 91929"] First off, hi to all. I have recently built a HTPC to replace my old Dreambox 7020, mainly for watching Satellite HD Channels, but also for the added media element (watching MKV's mainly), which obviously the Dreambox couldn't do. I have gone down the MP route as it seemed exactly what I wanted, but I am struggling to get things moving and working, there seems to be so many options and plus I don't get much time to dedicate to it due to family commitments, its seems at present I am never going to get it to replace my Dreambox. Ok I will start off with my system spec which I have put together, then I will go onto my questions/problems in the hope that someone with the knowledge or the same equipments can help me out a bit. Here is the spec:- Vista Ultimate AMD5050e 1TB Samsung F1 Spinpoint Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 HyperX Memory Non-ECC CL5 GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H Tevii S460 DVB-S2 Antec Remote Black Case with Veris RM200 Remote Corsair 400W CX PSU Sony Bravia KDL-40D3000 (upto 1080i) Ok may [B]1st[/B] problem I have already posted here :-https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/get-support-90/problem-sky-uk-hd-channels-stuttering-60239/#post423298 For some reason I get BBCHD playback fine, but any HD channels from Sky either Stutter badly, or come to a halt with or without any sound. I am guessing this is codec related but I am not sure? I have installed the SAF 3.47 codecs but this does not seem to have helped. My [B]2nd[/B] problem is that when I have scanned the Satellites and stored them in TV Server, when I select a channel from a different Satellite to what I am on it does not move the motor? My [B]3rd[/B] problem is the Veris RM200 remote and using with MP, epecially when using with Streamed MP skin, I find it very hard to navigate with the remote as there doesnt seem to be a up and down, more like a cursor (unless I am missing something?). And if I got to select anything the screen goes blank (like an unused area of the skin, no menus are showing), sometimes I will get to a screen were I go shut down or restart MP, but if I move the cursor around I get the menu back with the usual options, i.e TV, Movies etc. Please let me know if you need any clarification on this problem as I may sound confusing. My [B]4th[/B] problem is I cannot seem to find a way to exit MP, I have been using Alt+F4 as I do not see a shutdown button to navigate away, other than sometimes when I get it on the front menu screen as detailed above. Is there a better way? My [B]5th[/B] problem is a bit further down the line one I have my other problems sorted, but it is to do with the Antec Fusion Case LCD Display and also the remote and how to configure and work with MP and display TV Channel info and Movie info, does anyone know how to set this up? My [B]6th[/B] problem is again to do with TV Service, when I have been able to use the TV, I don't see any EPG info on the channels when I am selecting them. Is there a way to get the EPG to populate? Right I think that will do for now, these are my main problems at present. It would be good I think if someone with the same Motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H) and who is viewing the Sky HD channels, could clarify their codecs settings and any other related settings that may be causing my probs. Well I am hoping some knowledgable peeps come along and save me from pulling my hair (what I have left) out and help with my probs above. If you need any other info then let me know. Thanks in advance. Chris [/QUOTE]
