[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 403082, member: 10723"] I am using the TV-Server @ home together with 4 multiseat clients since we released it to the public several years ago. During the first year there were big issues, but i could not report any showstoper/annoying issues during the last 12 months. What i found out while giving support, is that it many cases, [I]"windows"[/I] is not really to blame for the issues [I](if the users did follow the requirements and installed all hotfixes ;) )[/I]. [LIST] [*]Many users tend to install maaaaaany things which [I]"sound cool/good"[/I], but at the end kill the system. [*]Most of the time, codec-packs simply kill the whole system, because filters start to add themselfes to graphs, where you do not need them. [*]Or [I](as recently seen in the german forum)[/I] very, very bad antenna cables causes stuttering LiveTV. [*]Bad hardware [I](TV-Card) [/I]- german forum has a nice thread about that as well [*]faulty drivers or firmware [I](tv-card/gfx-card/CAM)[/I] [*]comaptibillity issues with mainboard [I](our developer ambass suffered from that recently with a hauppauge card)[/I] [*]The list goes on, and on, and one. [*]bad codecs [*]users simply do not read the [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/Home"]manual's [/URL]at all. :D [/LIST] I do not try to say here that the TV-Server is completelly bugfree, but saying that it is unstable is not correct either. :) If we would sell HTPC''s with MediaPortal + all applications installed and configured, then we would have a lot less threads in our bugreport forums. Actually this is why i once created the "[URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/HomeTheatreSolutions"]Hardware selection help[/URL]" section in our wiki. With the idea that users which have fully functional HTPC's showcase them there. And harware gets added to the list with informations from users about their experience with it. That would help "newbies" a lot to get started. sadl, noone really cares about this section either. :S [/QUOTE]
