[QUOTE="Kanati, post: 18119"] Actually, for the time being, until the feature-set matures a bit I'm sticking with SAGEtv, but it's latest version 3.0 is still in beta and they didn't provide a whole lot of nifty new features with it... and those that were good in the new release are mostly broken. But overall I think it's about the most stable, feature-rich app out there. They just tend to p!$$ me off on a regular basis with their seeming lack of caring about the community that supports them. There's been a promise of an API for tweaking and tuning the program for ages, but only a priviledged few actually posess it and it seems now that they probably aren't going to release it at all for the masses to use. And of course it uses that nasty, evil Java thing too. <shudders>. The one main feature I'm missing in MP is an intelligent recording function like sage's feature of the same name, or tivo's suggestions. Another issue that has made me look the other way slightly is the lack of support for multiple recording locations. I *really* don't want to have to reconfigure my entire system to create a single virtual drive for MP to record to when Sage happily accepts any number of recording locations and then even load balances between them for me. But I'm keeping a real close eye on MP and have downloaded the latest source to look at implementing a few features of my own if things don't move as fast as I'd like... And I can definitely see MP in my future some time... It's just a matter of when. [/QUOTE]
