[QUOTE="edgedemon, post: 570668, member: 15486"] Since buying a flatscreen over xmas, I have had a re-jig of my TV set up. My cable box now connects directly into my TV, so for the first time ever, Im not using MP for TV, only movies and TV series, and I miss it, mainly because the constant switching between TV and HTPC is annoying. I had an old Hauppauge Win Nova freeview card knocking around, so I have just put that in the htpc, so I can watch the free to air digital channels and just switch over for the few channels that are not available. This got me thinking and I have decided to move to Win 7 (I know it is not fully supported) as every other PC in the house is Win 7 and it will give me a chance to clean up as I have every codec under the sun installed, built up over a period of time and in the past used the guide on the link below for my TV series.. [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/tutorial-playing-mkv-files-33662/[/url] Someone mentioned MPC_HC to me recently, but using the remote with this crashed my machine - partly why I want to re-install, plus I want to get back to a clean build I have recently heard about the SAF codecs, or as everyone says the 'unlocked' SAF codecs, do these work in Win 7 and MP 1.1? Where can I buy the unlocked version? Is it true that with MP 1.1 + SVN + Win 7 and SAF codecs and MPC-HC I sould be able get away with playing pretty much everything, I have 2.5TB of DVD's, TV series and Films, mainly in mkv format, though there is about 500GB of avi's which Im going to replace. Just though I had better check before trashing my installation!! The missus is out later so I have a 5hr window to do this :-) EDIT - just seen how to unlock SAF!!!
