[QUOTE="trahajopro86, post: 676735, member: 104984"] Dave, I gave up on MediaPortal. It has too many "little things" that I just wasn't happy with. I was really hoping to get something running on Windows, because I didn't want another machine dedicated to linux and I have other things running on the Windows box that can't be put on linux. I ended up using Mythbuntu, which is no easy feat in setting up (at least with the hardware I have). The HDHomerun was pretty straight forward and the channel mapping was really simple, unlike MediaPortal. The hard part was with my hardware for analog for my crappy Comcast STB. Also Myth has a really sweet web interface, that MediaPortal doesn't have out of the box (it's an addon). I did try xbmc with the MediaPortal addon (when I had MP working) and it worked really well.... better than anything I have found for an xbmc front end for myth. I just hope that work is being done for a pvr addon for Myth. If you only have the HDHomerun and a simple channel lineup, MP may be just the ticket for you. If you want to try MP check out the xbmc builds here [url=http://www.scintilla.utwente.nl/~marcelg/xbmc/]XBMC extensions[/url] I think once you get a backend going for TV, regardless of which you choose, the upcoming release of xbmc with the unified PVR support will kick ass!
