[QUOTE="Doodles, post: 83199, member: 24713"] After doing a full system reinistall, TV stopped working all together - which actually turned out to be a good thing because it gave me an error number in the log file that I could search the forums for. Although this brought up a number of threads that didn't seem to have the same symptoms, after browsing a few it became clear that they pretty much all were using the Via/s3g Unichrome Pro Igp (64 MB) graphics chipset. A couple of the threads picked up on this, saying it didn't support Directx 9. A little more research and it seems it supports Directx 7 but not 9. So, I got myself a graphics card, and it now all works wonderfully. It's now very usable - important due to WAF - and ready to go live. As my aim is to build an HTPC as cheaply as possible, I chose a cheap Asus graphics card (had to be AGP as I don't have any PCIe slots) using the Nvidia 6200 chip set. I know it won't support HD, but that doesn't matter to me at this time. This is not my primary unit, and only runs a 17" widescreen monitor for its display. I hope this is useful for someone. Perhaps we could create a central list of graphics chip sets that don't work. Anyway, thanks to you MediaProtal developer chappies. Great stuff - way better then GB-PVR, and way cheaper than MCE.
