This is a quick guide to install and configure MediaPortal 1.1.0 Final from scratch.

It shows how to enable the Electronic Program Guide (EPG), how to enable DVB Subtitles and how to configure Power Scheduler to automatically turn on your media PC when needed for recording scheduled programs.

I'm running this on an ASRock ION 330HT-BD, but it should be the same for other hardware.
