[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 761693, member: 111675"] Thanks for your replies. I shall have a go at running Client from my laptop (i3-330M) and see how much of a difference it makes. I had heard that Mediaportal needed a bit more power than the Atom processor can provide but I thought that that was just a bit of a myth. In terms of the skin I am using - I am only using the default one, so anything prettier than that really is going to make the Revo pretty unsuable. Interesting point about the Wireless - I have a rock-solid connection not far from the router and am pretty sure that this is causing no problems (play back, is absolutely flawless once running. It is only changing channel/looking at the EPG that is so slow. I am really glad that you guys warned me about this as I was just about to buy an all-in-one computer for my Kitchen that also has an Atom. Is a real shame, as I do think the Revo is pretty good. Assuming that it is just not powerful enough to run Mediaportal Client properly (and I sell it), what can you recommend to replace it? What low powered software can properly run the frontend - e.g. one of the AMD E-350 chips? Thanks [/QUOTE]
