[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 279238, member: 21313"] Well, first there was whining about missing standby support, and when that was added now it's about missing Live TV :) Considering all the work that was put in to [b]For The Record[/b] it would have been a little nicer to read about the things it is [u]good[/u] at. Like it being built on a decent architecture making it a solid and reliable product. Like it's perfect multiseat capabilities. Like... Let's not forget the reason I started development of [b]For The Record[/b] was because the MediaPortal scheduler was totally useless to me, I found the total lack of priority support and the weak and confusing conflict management disappointing. Coupled with the constant stability issues (certainly at that time), for me this made it an insufficient solution for a PVR setup. Did I whine about that? No, I did something constructive. The result so far is a totally [I]free[/I] solution you can all use, and even without live TV you can run it as a complement to MediaPortal, keep it's existing live TV and run [b]For The Record[/b] in its own screens. The option to replace the standard My TV screens has been added on request of users who specifically told me they don't need Live TV, so if you do, simply don't replace the screens (yet). It's [i]optional[/i] after all. Also consider that not a single bug has been reported for version 1.2 yet. Does this mean it's totally bug free, no of course not. But it does show that whatever bugs that are still hiding must be rather minor, providing users with a [u]rock-solid[/u] PVR solution. Live TV [i]will[/i] be added down the road, but when we add something we want to do it right. We aim to add things that work as they should, keeping the whole product as stable as we can. Since it's of course always nicer to get some positive comments, let me quote some feedback I got back from one of the testers a few weeks ago: Now this is what keeps someone working totally for free on a product... I'll get off my soapbox now :D Y'all have a nice day. [/QUOTE]
