    Or, you could also try some of the dedicated TV programs like ChrisTV or WinTV. They include things like an EPG and let you record shows without a HTPC GUI to get in the way.

    My TV is a great plugin, but it's really designed to be component of a HTPC program.

    if you want your htpc to behave as a "normal" TV then use the "autostart" plugin. You start the PC and the first thing you see from MP is fullscreen TV.

    thanks+regards

    In your situation WinDVR is prbebly the best solution. Performance is optimal. Image quality is just as good or even better than in MP. I'm not sure if Purevideo is supported. If it is, the only thing you will mis is the EPG.

    WinDVR is a realy good piece of software.

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

    Hello, I read some previous posts but I didn't understand if someone did it or worked on it. I'd like to ask you if there will be the chance to interface the MP-TV series plugin with TMDB also. I don't say to eliminate the chance to keep data from TVDB, but at least the option to choose to switch to TMDB or (why not?) other sources.
