[QUOTE="nst6563, post: 54207, member: 14655"] I personally like MP's features and looks. I have a stability problem with mine though, and not quite sure where it's coming from. It crashes about once a day. i mainly use it to watch movies with ffdshow postprocessing output at 1080P to my tv. So I'm not doing anything overly complicated (that I know of :p ), yet it still crashes. One of these days, I'll actually get around to finding out what's causing the crashes... maybe even post a log or two here in the forums...but until then, I still enjoy it (and I'll excersize the use of the reset button :lol: ). I haven't d/l the beyondtv or Sagetv trials yet b/c I know they don't provide the features that I use in mediaportal (mounting DVD iso's, etc) without having to purchase yet ANOTHER software package from them to add the missing functionality that should be there to begin with. MP really does kick ass. Movie Trailers, Weather (including sat and radar images), movies, pictures, radio, tv, etc...every time a friend comes over they're drooling over the setup I have (and no...I don't tell them it crashes on me once a day b/c I think it really boils down to either a driver problem or software incompatability somewhere and no direct fault of MP itself). As for setup...I didn't find it hard at all. The only thing it took was a little time. If you call about 30 minutes including the channel scan a long time. The only thing I think it's missing besides the rest of the bug fixes is an EPG for the US. A lot of MP seems to be geared to the rest of the world and not the US...but then again...from what I've read most of the devs aren't in the US...so it only makes sense :wink: so to the devs...awsome work. I've written some programs in the past including a small multithreaded one...but I can't touch what you guys are doing with MP and for what it's become it deserves more recognition. [/QUOTE]
