[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 426988, member: 72093"] [b]Yeah, I left MediaPortal too...[/b] About two/three years ago I found MediaPortal and tried it. Hard to understand, couldn't even work out the options or what I needed and the installation was horrible - I left it. Last year I was looking for a replacement for a much loved and very usable TiVo (they're not in the UK anymore). Really wanted HD too and HDMI would be nice. Remembered MediaPortal, looked at Sage, Myth etc. - what the heck, let's try MP again. Well, it wasn't perfect but a lot better (and has got better since). have I spent too much time and money - yup, absolutely, but there really is nothing that touches this for a single solution. MS's MCE (bought a copy - nayone want it?) doesn't play nice with Sky. Do I still get stuck - yup, 100% Current problem is my HDMI connected audio not listening to the (MCE) remote then exit and back in and it comes back to life - go figure. Will it get fixed, I hope so, can I do it? Not a chance. But I have done some things for others. So is MP going? No, when it works it is fine and so many people have contributed to making it better. For the Record (haven't got around to installing it yet since my reinstall...!) gives it TiVo-like capabilities too. Frankly I am stunned that it is such a GOOD piece of software. [/QUOTE]
