[QUOTE="GuiltyNL, post: 1031804, member: 136461"] Yesterday I have formatted my Mediaportal PC, I was running Windows 8, but had several problems with it: 1) Fan control in Windows 8 was annoying, spinning up too fast and I was not able to change it, tried everything, from BIOS to Speedfan, but it stayed revving up and down too many times. 2) Powerscheduler wasn't working well, I was able to put my system asleep, but after that the Recording Scheduler didn't work. After waking up, I wasn't able to restart the TV-Service aswell. So I had to keep the HTPC on all the time 3) Mediaportal TV Service Configurator had problems with restarting the service too 4) The TV Service was crashing once in a while. So Mediaportal lost its connection 5) Rebooting or waking up from sleep was sometimes the cause of my IR receiver not working anymore. I had to replug it in my USB port to let it work again 6) The temperature of my machine (ASRock CoreHT) was higher in Windows 8 than in Windows 7. Now I'm back at Windows 7 and everything works again like it should: 1) The fans are quit again and only revving when needed, but the system stays cooler too! 2) Powerscheduler is working again, and wakes my machine up for recordings 3) The TV Service configurator is able to restart the TV service without any problems 4) It is just running for a day on W7 again, but no TV Service crashes 5) Tested the IR receiver several times, it seems to work now without problems 6) The temperature of the machine is much lower now In my opinion Windows 8 is not yet a stable solution for Mediaportal (in my configuration that is).
