[QUOTE="janjuul, post: 123865, member: 41091"] I take no offence, and I re-iterate again: I have no intentions of offencing any members of the great team building this software. Joboehll: STB is correctly supported today in 2.2.0, but not in 3.0 (one of my points about the 4th gear missing, as I with 3.0 have to give up using my STB which is providing 90% of all my channels). Further there is no DVB subtitle (not teletext) support available, unless you have some internal tweaks and features. And I'm not getting the network environment and the client server environment messed up, that thing I can assure you. The 3.0 is a client/server setup (as described by the team themselves) and the fact that you can put the server and the client on the same machine is a 'standard' feature of most client/server solutions. Just for your knowledge: GBPVR is developed by ONE single guy in New Zeeland. F0rmula: you brought up a good point about my use of Nerds and PCs in every room. That was not to offend anyone, but to bring the point home about the dependence on PCs to run the client portion, and I'm quite sure that my wife will call me a 'Nerd' if I need to setup a PC in my bedroom in order to watch a recording from the new TV-engine !!! Regarding Media Extenders: GBPVR has had it for years + a large number of commercial products are now all pushing dedicated high spec media extenders that can front their software, and it would be really nice to see Media Portal go that direction as well. Not to produce extenders, but define a protocol that they will support (just like GBPVR, SAGE plus others have done). It would have been great if the protocol between the new client and the new TV engine was compatible with some of the extender out there. (what a bonus that would have been !!) However, I find it quite interesting to see that this thread is in danger of going the standard path of many forums "If you raise critics, then just leave the community, we didn't ask you to use the software !!" Now I have tried that too . . . I was hoping to raise a general discussion about how the future directions of this great software is directed, and thanks for those of you who have decided to engage in this from the constructive side, and that some of you are sharing some of my views, and others are immediately starting to defend the work done up till now. I'm not concerned about the past, as I can't change it. My focus is on the future, and a lot of things are currently happening in the HTPC industry (HDTV, DVB, NetRadio, 2nd generation MediaExtenders etc). But I am very interested in understanding how and what is driving the future directions of this product. And I'm not asking the team to only focus on what I want or need, but would like to find a way where everyone can provide input. We have all different wishes for the future direction of the product, but I'm quite sure that not many of us was looking for a PC based Client / Server solution. [/QUOTE]
