[QUOTE="Khris, post: 54132, member: 13511"] I spent about a year using MP and going through the various updates/revisions. A little over a month ago I switched back to BeyondTV for the following reasons: -Consistant crashes with MP while trying to compress recorded shows -Horrible quality of compressed shows -Intermittant MP crashes seemingly without any specific reason -TV Guide never automatically updating (no matter how many times I configured it). Since going back to BTV I have an HTPC that has not crashed ONCE!! -I can use my SW card along side of my PVR500 to timeshift without batting an eye. -I can use my SW card to stream live TV over my own network or even the Internet if I'm away from home. -BTV has a client/server setup which allows you to stream tv/recorded shows to other computers by using their BTV Link program. -Compressing shows have multiple options and the quality is excellent. -Compressed shows can be moved to specific folders as dictated by the compression settings. Please don't get me wrong, I do think that in time MP will dominate the HTPC landscape......but it's far from that point at present. [/QUOTE]
