First of all I just wanted to say I only found MediaPortal on saturday so been playing around with it all weekend and it looks really promissing and would like to thank everyone who works on it.
Basicly I got fed up with MCE because of TV shows, Movies and it doesnt work very well with Freesat here in the UK, I've even tried Windows 7 and though I like the Interface on MCE is just doesnt do what I need so..
I've installed MediaPortal and got everything working pretty much (EPG, Freesat, TV Logos, Moving Pictures, TV Shows)
The problem I have is it seems when I have everything configure the way I want it MediaPortal seems to crash a lot and I've had to reload it twice already, Ill upload a zip file next time it happens but only just got it all working again the issues i've come across so far are.
TV Shows - Amazing plugin it looks amazing and works grate but is it possible to automaticly download Fan Art?
Bleazle Skin - My TV is a 47" LCD 1080p and it seems the skin has problem in that you can see ghosting effects in the background
TV Server - I like this much better than MCE but has a couple of bugs, It lets you go back in time on the EGP which doesnt really make sence to me, Im also unable to get TV server to stream to my laptop I just get a unknown error when I try and connect (I have disabled windows firewall with no joy)
One of the biggest things I think needs improving is
1. Start up time, it is really slow and my media center isnt a bad spec but it takes around 3-5mins to load up
2. Configuring TV Server/Mediaportal - This needs a more user friendly interface which can be access inside of MediaPortal
3. TV Interface - I would be nice to be able to delete channels from inside MediaPortal
Sorry if it sounds like im moaning lol just trying to help make MediaPortal a bit more userfriendly and giving feedback from my point of view as a new user.

a couple more things while i've been playing around (stuck at home in the snow)
When you record TV it seems to make the liveTV jerky
Is it possible to backup all my settings including TVShow infomation (cover art, fan art etc..) as having reloaded twice it would be nice not to have to do all this again, also at some point I wanted to try MP with Windows 7 see if its any better for me.
