I know this is dumb but do many of you use a Antivirus program on your HTPC? I don't download anything to it besides the XML guide. I was using AVGfree and it was slowing down my box a little. Just asking.

    Like any normal box really. The active scanning it uses would be too bad because of the file incrementation speed of recordings and there wouldnt be a lot of file access as its only using the one program. Ive just got Symantec corp server on mine running the other symantec corp clients in the house and it works nicely.

    yeah, i wouldn't think anything of it if you only download xml files to it.. to just schedule a scan every week.. or you could even scan every night.. or while you are at work.. sometime when you know you won't be using it and not worry about constant virus scanning.

    this coming from someone who didn't have any antivirus for years... so i'm a little more comfortable knowing what I download.

    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...
