I have been using (and loving) MC19 primarily for movie playback, and have been trying to implement it as a live TV solution as well, but I've been having a few issues, which are rub to family-approval-factor.
Admittedly, I honestly feel like WMC nailed the Theater UI for an average-joe user-and-family, but JRiver nailed every-other-aspect of the home theater experience. Cheers to that, which brings me to my hope that we can iron out some of the sticking points.
-The live-tv-button solution that involves ["/mcc 30002,3" to watch channel number 3] doesn't work with my antenna setup with channels numbered 3-1 or 3.1, and ALL channels are numbered this way, so I cannot start directly into live tv. Is there a way around this?
(I'm in the US, ATSC, using Happauge 2250)
-Live-tv playback stops when I open the guide? is this correct? I was expecting that it would just darken, and throw an overlay (probably graphics intensive); or kill the graphics completely, but keep the audio until I actually switch channels.
