I would say so. Even if DJBlu was still here to work on it, I probably would have moved anyway to get down to smaller frontend units.. Android TV has plex, youtube, netflix etc. all from a single remote and interface.
You could try doing a tvh install on a seperate machine with linux and then run kodi on the windows machine to test out both the interface without screwing up your main usage; Kodi has its quirks but its fully remap-able for remotes and it does well enough now... I just find the inability to change the EPG display timeframes awkward as it can make 30 minute shows harder to read.

When you say grouping do you mean channel numbers would not be present so if I say set a favorite group with list of channels I watch the most as I do now these would be lost if channel frequencies change etc.
We was looking at kodi a whole back to be fair as a replacement for mp which is a massive shame but there is just no development anymore of mp for anyone who uses a satellite dish. I love mp.
We was still using MediaPortal TV server as the background though.
I agree. The core functionality is still being developed, but plugin development seems a bit hit and miss, with developers suddenly disappearing and abandoning them, or simply not being updated for new versions or skins. If you rely on such plugins for your specific situation then you're kind of stuck.
Benoire, does TVHeadend also provide Series Link functionality for Freeview tuners or does Freeview lack the CIRD that you mention?
Cheers
Yeah and it's pretty pointless is MediaPortal without the plugins and I for one would be happy to donate to MediaPortal plugin development if it meant we didn't have to find alternative solutions.
as long as freeview trasmits CRID then it should be fine, TVH is produced by a few people from europe including UK, and I believe it works for Freesat/freeview UK. best way to check is to ask their forums.
It's a shame it doesn't run in windows like media portal especially if using the computer for other things.
If you have USB tuners, or a Sat>IP tuner then you could probably run it in virtualbox etc. on windows itself. It requires very little resources itself, I was running it in a virtual machine with only 256mb of ram on ubuntu server 16.04.
