I have 2 computers running with MediaPortal, one at home and one at work (my second home, I spend 3 weeks a month in a gas and oil exploration camp somewhere in the middle of the Australian desert).
My home HTPC is running 24/7, and does a lot of hard work. It has a WAF factor of 10/10. The wife and kids never managed to crash MP or the computer and it has been running solid for the last 18 months. On this PC I’m still running MP 0.1.1.1. This version is extremely stable for analog tuner cards and for some stupid reason it does work on a 2 monitor environment. Watching TV or movies on the big screen using MP and surfing the net on the small screen, all at the same time.
The wife records 2 or 3 channels at the same time every evening, whilst watching recorded TV on the big screen (and sometimes surfing the net on the small screen). The kids are watching recorded TV using the D-link DSM-320 on their TV. All at the same time.
My second HTPC at work is my experimenting machine. I always run the latest CVS on this. Since this pc does not require a WAF I can play and configure it to the max, but except for the occasional error introduced by CVS this machine runs stable.
