[QUOTE="ch0colate, post: 194323, member: 26113"] There are plenty of very reasonable ready made htpcs these days, Im trying to decide at the moment wether to advise my parents to get a ready built htpc and put mediaportal on it for them or get a pvr type thing. They was really impressed with my mediaportal setup but I just dont know if it may be a bit to complex for them. Im using tv engine not server and I find there are a few bugs when scheduling recordings and things that may freak them out a bit but Im sure these will be all sorted within a few releases. Ive never had any problems with the pc waking to record etc, tbh it seems about as stable in this regard as sky+ has been in my experience (of seeing other peoples) How well do the epg and record scheduling features on pvrs work these days? So in conclusion get a pvr, no get an htpc..... pvr.... erm htpc........... [/QUOTE]
