[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6067"] I am sure that MCE is great but MediaPortal is the only viable option for countries outside UK, USA and a couple more... I live in Holland and there is a dutch version of MCE but I have read some reviews and yes it looks great, easy and all that, but shit happens as well and not all the stuff actually work (EGP for example can be a nightmare..) It hangs, freezes as well.. And.... Bloody expensive!! At least in Holland you do not have to buy a complete new PC as you can have the kit, but 200 to 300 euros for a fancy remote and additional Front end is a tad on the high price.. I think MP is great because of all the poeple involved and it really does mean infinite possibilities.. As for the Set up... it could indeed be improved but because it MP is so expansive, the set up is not as simple as MCE. Comes down to more options I guess. But mainly it is due to the variety of Hardware it actually supports!! MCE can be simple, yes, but this is becuase it supports only 1 or 2 TV cards and comes with it's own remote.. If MP only supported, say PVR 250 and PVR 350, then I am certain that you would be all set up in about 2 clicks.... My 2 cents anyway [/QUOTE]
