[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1136869, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome deltad! :) I'm not sure whether the problem is signal strength/quality, codec choice or something else. If it is signal quality, you'd have the same problems no matter what OS and/or version of MP you use. Fixing it would be a matter of getting a better antenna, or aiming your antenna better, or getting an amplifier... something like that. If it is codec choice, configuration could make a world of difference. I strongly suggest you post log files so that we can see what is [I]really [/I]going on: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/3_Forums/2_Log_Files[/URL] Open MediaPortal with the watchdog tool option 1. Go to the TV section. View up to 10 channels for around 30 seconds each. Try to choose a selection of channels that represent/exhibit the problems that you have described. Close MediaPortal. Attach the zip file that the watchdog creates for you. Let's get the situation 100% clear. Newer versions of MediaPortal [I]do[/I] still work on Windows XP. I use version 1.7.1, and it works well enough for me. As far as I know, MP 1.11 - the latest version - still works too. The key word to understand is [B]support[/B]. MP works on XP for now... but we no longer guarantee to: [LIST=1] [*]Ensure that new versions of MP remain compatible with XP. [*]Ensure that new features work on XP. [*]Fix bugs that only affect MP when it runs on XP. [*]Provide help ("support") to people using MP on XP. [/LIST] We don't guarantee these things mainly because we simply don't have enough testers and developers who use XP to make it possible. You're fully entitled to your opinions. Hopefully now that you understand the situation and reasoning better, you'd accept that we're just being practical. When it comes to Media Center... MediaPortal is not and has never been a Media Center clone. We make our own choices about design and support. Rightly or wrongly, being available/compatible on every OS that Media Center is available on is not one of our goals. Also, as you're probably aware, support for WMC is almost non-existent these days, regardless of what OS you use. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
