Hey what kind of tv do you have, are you using dish, or local channels. How do you have it set up through your tuner? thanks

[trudyandgeorge]

@MrMecrob1 I've got a 42" LCD TV (It's a Sony "Bravia") It's a good quality panel. The TV itself has a load of useless features which Sony threw in to be competitive; like inserting 'fake' frames to increase the frame rate to 200Hz. All that is turned off, I got the telly for the superior panel it comes with. The TV content is Australia's free-to-air channels only. No pay-TV content. It comes in off the air via an UHF antenna (DVB-T in Aus). The tuner config is done through Media Portal itself.

Awesome setup. I've been looking into setting one of these up myself, so I was really interested in checking out Part 2 about the 20TB file server, but it looks like the link doesn't work.

Any chance you could give me a rundown on your setup for the server/client? (parts list, etc)

[trudyandgeorge]

@Ziggyssalad G'Day mate. I've finally put the file server video up: watch?v=UATmrLzZLP4

[kiwi1342]

is that television a special plugin?

[trudyandgeorge]

@kiwi1342 T.V. Functionality comes built-in with Media Portal, however I've turned off Media Portal's internal TV management and opted for a 3rd party solution called "4TheRecord", Google and check it out :)

Thank you for this great showcase video!

We hope that there will be more in the future. Maybe covering more extensions (plugins&skins)

[ElectricMuffinDude]

Avalon hd skin looks looks best in my opinion for mp :)

[exweirdo]

hi.. which skin are you using, and does it work fine with the latest MP?

Also, what is the configuration of your system cause this looking as smooth as it can be.

Thanks in advance

[wobblyman2000]

[recorps1]
