[QUOTE="Frodo, post: 18677, member: 10277"] guess you are confused about tv & directx DirectX is used for rendering and (i think) mediaportal works on pretty any VGA card. Offcourse MP can be slow if you got a very old vga card, but it should work. For TV-card however Mediaportal is using directshow while directshow is pretty standard its documentation is very bad This lead to people (manufacterors) interpreting the documentation in many ways and this causes that all cards behave differently When you do action A for tv-card type 1 and it works, then it can easily be that action A does not work for tv-card type 2 Besides this we see that some manufactors are 'protecting' their drivers an example is avermedia which has very weird drivers which simply dont follow the directshow specifications on purpose. All considered this makes it very hard , if not impossible, to support all types of tvcards. I guess thats why microsoft only supports MCE cards in their mediacenter frodo [/QUOTE]
