For instance, if you want to check what's on the sports channels, English language, and from any Country you just need to select "Sports", "English" and "Any" for Country. If you want to see sports in English but on Indian channels, you would select "Sport", English" and "India" as the Country. The channels list will open on the left side of the software and you will only need to click on the one you want to view.

Yes, you can watch encrypted channels, if you have a valid subscription card for the channels you want to watch. MediaPortal does NOT support softcams and will never support them! See this thread for some more details. Furthermore you need a TV card with CI that is properly supported. Currently only 2 kinds of cards are confirmed to be working with CI. Others might also work but that still needs to be tested thorougly.

Live TV does not currently work with MythTV 0.19. mvpmc is capable of of playing live TV with older versions of MythTV. You can watch live TV either via the filesystem or the myth protocol. If you use the -b option to mvpmc, you can tell mvpmc which directory contains the ringbuffer. If you do not use the -b option, then live tv will be played via the myth protocol. When you select live TV, you will be given a menu containing all of the programs currently being broadcast.

First of all, TV watching is now your job. So tell everyone to get off your case. You have to watch TV to write TV. In particular you have to watch the hot shows everyone's talking about. You have to watch both the new shows, and the shows that keep coming up in conversation. You should be watching shows by accomplished writers like Amy Sherman-Palladino and Steve Bochco and Chris Carter and David Kelley.

My neighbor has a dog who completely and literally will watch TV in the same fashion as we. He can watch a movie from start to finish. Certain things set him off, excite him, or upset him. Controversy, kissing, shooting, this type of thing gets him very agitated - too much emotion involved in what he's seeing.

You cannot watch TV Channels while receiving a Multicast download as this would interrupt the download (nor tune the DVB card to another transponder than our data transponder).

Yes. Picture-in-Picture (PIP) allows you to watch two programs simultaneously with four selectable window positions. Picture-on-Picture (POP) allows you to watch two programs side by side. PIP/POP is available when your video source is set to TV, AV, S-Video, Component 1 or Component 2. For example, you can watch two analog TV programs simultaneously with PIP/POP by using the built-in TV tuner and an external tuner such as the one inside your VCR.

Funny that you ask! Mark Boyle is producing a new underground TV and Movie center titled Teenwag Cinema and to request shows and movies scribble on the wall.

Of course! Not only will you have the "big boys" like the College Sports Network, but there are a TON of unique stations like "Goal" which is a 24 hour soccer channel.

Yes. In other words, if you've been watching channel 8 for the last 30 minutes and you switch to channel 6, you lose the history from channel 8, and the buffer starts over. I'm not sure why this is, but I don't like it. You can hit Record, and it'll automatically save it from the beginning, assuming it's in the live TV buffer (that is, you've been watching it for less than 30 minutes). For example, if I'm 10 minutes into an hour-long show, I can hit Record.

Not currently. We have this on our to-do list for future installments, but so far it's proven too difficult to code within the existing game engine limitations.

There is still much talk about the availability of Premier League football, especially live Saturday afternoon matches - which are not shown on the Sky Sports channels. Prior to May 2000, which marked an EU anti-piracy act, many satellite dealers sold unofficial (pirate) smartcards to gain access to foreign pay-TV providers, offering access to many premium events, including original language pay-per-view movies and live football.

Yes. In fact, you can record two shows (1 analog, 1 digital) and watch a DVD move all at the same time.

Yes. Split your cable coming out of the wall & run it directly into a second input on the back of your TV. That way, you can still watch a live feed (although you lose the ability to pause/rewind, which sucks). Also, in my case, since I have digital cable, I can't get my digital channels through this feed.

On the right side of My New Satellite TV there are various filters that allow you to only see the channels based on a country of your choice, based on the language of your choice, and so on. If you want to watch music videos for example, choose English as the language, TV as the channel type, and look for MTV U.
