I've tried the TVengine3 several times, in different stages of development. I have a single seated configuration.
I keep coming back to the integrated engine because the TVengine3 has way to much overhead compared to the advantages for me. The only real advantage so far is that files are no longer recorded in dvr format. But I don't even realy use that option because there is no solid option to burn the files to a DVD or CD. This is a part in MP that is missing and deserves a lot more attention then it's getting at this point.
At this moment the TVengine3 is much more complicated to install and configure, uses a lot more recourses because of the SQL server and is less stable (I know it's in development... I'm not complaining). So I'm sticking with the, flawlessly functioning, 'old' engine.
Of course I can see the obvious advantages of using TVengine3 in a multiseated configuration. But I'm not using that advantage, so I'm just reflecting my opnion on my experience.
