Setting UP MVP

[kranzel]

Hi All,

I just have a question for you here. I am currently using Sage. I used Beyond TV in the past and was very happy with it. I switched to Sage to give it a good try for about 6 months because a client of mine was interested in how it compared to BTV.

After using it for a few months I personally like BTV better. I will admit, I like Sage's intergration with DVD/Photo/Music better. I don't especially like having to have two apps to do the same thing on BTV. Only a minor problem though.

My main queestion is this. I have a Hauppauge MVP. With Sage. I didn't have to isntall anything to get it working. It simply worked with the current Sage software.

I have been reading about the MVP and BTV in the forums hre. I really like the look of the skin. I understand to install the skin I need to download or use the Hauppauge software for the MVP. Install it, and then run the skin. My questin is this. Do I need to keeep the software installed for BTV to utilize the MVP? Or does BTV have a simlliar setup to sage. Will it work with the MVP after I install the skin?

I just don't like having so many diffrent software packages running in order to do one thing untimatley. Or at least, the perception of one thing. I understand each piece has it's point.


Thanks in advance.
