HTPC Case: n/a
Cooling: wicked
Power Supply: 430 watt
Remote: mce2 + blaster
TV: Olevia 47" 720p LCD
TV - HTPC Connection: DVI
My main goal is to have all of these working at the same time:
2 - HD OTA channels simultaneously
1 - Dish Network STB (controlled via MCE Blaster)
1 - Standard cable
With vista media center I can currently do everything except for the cable. Vista won't let me have two different EPG's combined (HD OTA is considered apart of the satellite EPG.)
I have successfully installed and configured the IR suite plugin, which should enable media portal to control my STB, changing channels and what not. I haven't been able to find much information on how to get MP to actually do this however, only in the plugin configuration have I gotten this to work correctly.
I have the EPG downloading via zap2xml, but the tvguide.xml file is 75 mb large, and when I try to import the channel list into the configuration program, the program takes up about 700mb of ram and runs the processor at 50% for 5 minutes before it all gets sorted.
1. Why is this so slow?
2. How do i get MP to change the channel on the STB when i navigate around the EPG inside of MP?
Thanks for your help.
