[QUOTE="David Becht, post: 1139750, member: 153151"] Hello, I have been a longtime WMC user. I have been mostly happy with the product but as of late it has become apparent that Microsoft has abandoned the product and will not be part of future releases of it's operating system. My current setup includes three Windows 7 Media Center PC's, two of which contain Ceton Infinitv 4 tuners. One of which uses one of the tuners through what they call network connect. I also have a Ceton echo connected to a TV. The reason I am attracted to MediaPortal is because it appears as though it is at the growing stages of it's lifecycle unlike Media Center which appears to be on life support. It also looks like there are a number of things which can be added to it which make it better than what I have available to me with media center. My objective here is to make the transition with as little loss of hardware as possible and no loss of functionality. I have a few questions which may help me with my decision process. 1. Will MediaPortal work on Windows 10 when it arrives next month? 2. Will it work if the Server is on Windows 7 and the clients on Windows 10? 3. Would I be able to have both WMC and Media Portal running on the same machine so that I could keep my Ceton Echo working as an extender? or Is there a work around from within MediaPortal which would make that work? Do the two applications conflict in any way? I am excited about what I have been able to read about MediaPortal. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Dave [/QUOTE]
