[QUOTE="jp2code, post: 1189963, member: 135099"] I tried a search before posting this, but only found vague references to HDHomeRun on here. So, before I try installing MediaPortal, is it compatible with HDHomeRun? I have the EXTEND model that has dual Over The Air tuners. [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GY0UB6I[/URL] Kodi can be made to work, but I have to select a TV Server and TV Client that are non-Kodi and seem to always contain their own steep learning curves. Then, Kodi pushes out an update, and that TV Server/Client may or may not be compatible, meaning I have to research that all again. From what I see in the wiki, it looks like MediaPortal still has a server/client, but it isn't some 3rd party add-on junk that I have to learn separately. I would kind of like something that I don't need to worry about once it is setup. I'd like to be able to see my local news in MediaPortal's guide, tell it I want to record that every day, keep only 1 episode (who cares about yesterday's traffic reports or weather?), then skip past all of the local commercials when I sit down to watch it when I get home from work. My other concern is that I also have a lot of off-line media content, like a 4-TB NAS drive full of old ripped DVDs. It looks like MediaPortal works for off-line media, too, but I don't know how good that experience is. I want to retain my ability to play these, view captions, Fast Forward, Rewind, and Resume Playback.
