[QUOTE="Jean-Christophe, post: 620210, member: 13248"] To who it might be useful for. A few month ago, I tried to get some information about DVB-S. My goal was to find a tuner that works fine with MediaPortal and the service provider. I asked the community ([url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/tv-cards-333/belgium-provider-telesat-compatible-card-70478/[/url]) without answer. I went into my project and tried to have specific recommendation about software/hardware to use to avoid as much problem as possible. The wiki is full of information but it remains generic. I proposed to have an official supported configuration list. I was treated like a terrorist by people not understanding the difference between "supported" and "working". ([url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-talk-45/what-about-restricting-support-specific-os-75758/[/url]) Then, I made what I was thinking right. I tried to find hardware that match my needs and select the ONE between a list of possible tuner. It is supposed to be supported by MP. At this point, I had the hardware, the software and the service provider. It never worked like expected. RC3 arrived, full of good intention. One again, I was disappointed. ([url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-1-0-rc-3-519/technotrend-scrambled-channel-82296/[/url]) My conclusion is : MediaPortal is a very good piece of software! Nicely documented and maintained, but is too much versatile to be stable. I guess some user had the same process as me. Starting from nothing to build a small, cheap and efficient HTPC. They could be very disappointed by the final result... Please, give us a guide line! I mean... a lot of function have there own hardware (dvb-s, dvb-t, dvb-t, fm, dab, etc.). Why not give people a list of supported hardware with OS/Driver matching table? I can give you my info : Technotrend DVB-S2 TT-3650-CI doesn't work well with any OS or driver version within MP (the official software works like a charm). I still give my support to MP and I hope the community will learn from stories like this one. [/QUOTE]
