[QUOTE="jonaskp, post: 392031, member: 26015"] While I do love FTR more than anything (except my girlfriend maybe, but FTR keeps her happy too, so I'm not sure :P), I don't completely agree that FTR (in its current state) could be used as the default TVplugin (all disaggreements, legal issues and other stuff put aside). The true power of FTR currently lies in Management Console. Being able to set up very advanced scheduling rules for recordings, can only be avhieved from that interface. An in my opinion, with the perfect HTPC, the user should be able to control everything with the remote. I am very confident that expanding the possibilities of what can be done from within the MP GUI and making this very user-friendly is something FTR will incorporate at some point. Until then, I as a "power-user" have no problem with going into Management consoles from time to time, to either set up schedules or correct schedules I have made from the MP GUI. This is why I don't think FTR is ready to be the TV-solution for every single user. Even so, I do think the "starts around"-feature is worth every single minute it took to install and configure FTR - everything else is just icing on the cake that makes my HTPC-experience so much better :D [/QUOTE]
