[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 234324, member: 14215"] I hope you have better luck with that (i mean it, not being sarcastic :). However, i hope you wont be surprised the first time it crashes on you ;) Seriously though, while i agree that PC based HTPC's are less stable, its usually the case that the more complex the software in the box, the less stable it is and the more problems its has. You have to remember that these boxes are actually becoming more and more *like* a PC :) With that comes all the features of a PC but also all the bugs. The fact that MPII is being created in realization that MP1 have some structural problems that needs to be fixed as these are making MP1 hard to maintain. Consider the whole of MPII a much needed bugfix in form of a re-write. I dont know where people gets this idea. Work is being done on MPII because its necessary and all the work that goes into the TV server/TV plugin is bugfixing. [/QUOTE]
