[QUOTE="revs, post: 788979, member: 42810"] Hi, You dont need to justify your use of MCE, its a personal preference, and different systems work well for different people. But please don't spread FUD about MediaPortal (same goes for those doing it for MCE). MediaBrowser looks identical to MovingPictures and TVSeries - both of which are completely automated and auto-grab without any user intervention. And use the same thetvdb.com database that you mention. Comskip - this is hit and miss depending on channel, and its not related to MCE or MediaPortal, they just read what Comskip outputs. Menu options, open source, UI simplicity etc and all that are all just personal, non quantifiable issues. Depends on who set up the system, which remote you have and so on iPhone controller - iPiMP seems pretty perfect, havent seen the MCE ones, and there is CouchPotato, again, looks great. I know iPiMP can controll all clients, and assume CP can too. So another draw here, and again, another thing that is personal preference. As for crashing machines etc - again this is goign to be down to the HTPC hardware and whether you are unlucky :D My MP machine is on 24/7 (sleeps when not in use), and I never exit to windows, its always in the MP interface. It's never crashed on me, or screwed up in any way. So my point is - nearly all of this is completely about personal preference, both systems have Pros and Cons, For some one may be lacking a must-have feature the other has. Just please, lets not spread bad information about either system when its a personal thing and not fact - e.g. "jumping through hoops for EPG" - in MP you just tick the box for the channel you want, but again, this was my personal experience, for you the setup may have been different and it may not have worked - maybe for me MCE wouldnt have had good EPG! And with both systems, theres always something to tweak and spend hours on - in its simplest form, MP on Win 7 with MS codecs plays just about everything - same as MCE. But those wanting to tweak can spend hours and hours faffing with codecs. [/QUOTE]
