If by solid you mean stable and doesn't crash then this is where MP has made great strides and has been the developer focus for a while now.
It is so rock-solid for me that we have 3 MediaPortal computers in our house to provide TV (and the rest that it can do like radio, music, dvd's etc!!!)... we have no Free-To-Air STB's or stereo's or standalone DVD players here... maybe that will tell you how much confidence i have in MP and how reliable it is.
I use Digital TV Cards for Free-to-Air and do have have one pay-tv STB that is shared throughout the house and inputted into hardware analogue cards for MP to use. pay-tv is shared to far-away areas of the house via wireless a/v senders/receivers. They have remote control extenders built-in to them also so i can change pay-tv channels from everywhere by using Smirnuff's great MyBlaster plugin for my MCE remotes.
All works great and basically anything is possible (my way is not the only way to set things up of course, i hope to stream my pay-tv over the network one day for example) and it keeps getting better with every release... |
