[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 817251, member: 91446"] Right. Now I understand what you want. You can download files using Online Videos, but you can not use it to watch (or record) live TV. If you want to do anything with live TV, you need to have a Tuner Card in your TV and connect an aerial or satellite feed to that Tuner Card (technically, you can use proper IPTV too, but since you don't have this is is not relevant). When you use the term "full version" you are probably confusing yourself :-) MP is split into two parts: 1) The Client - basically works just like XBMC to access media. You can add plugins to The Client software to allow databasing of TV Series or Movies, or for watching Online Videos etc (there are many many more plugins than that, just as there are with XBMC). Like XBMC, The Client will download fanart etc and provide a nice looking GUI. 2) The TV Server - This software runs in the background and communicates with any TV Tuner Cards installed in the PC and communicates with the Client (or clients - it is possible to have the client installed on multiple PCs on the network, all of which can access the TV Server resources). The TV Server streams the live TV feeds to The Clients (as well as providing them with EPG data and a database listing of recorded shows). I believe it is possible to use the TV Server with XMBC (rather than using the MediaPortal Client front end), but this is a bit of a hack, and not supported on these forums. In any case, you would still need a TV Tuner in your PC to do this. Does this help clarify? [/QUOTE]
