[QUOTE="enigma9o7, post: 617035"] I currently use a combination of BeyondTV for Recording/Watching TV (from two ATSC tuners, using an antenna, in the US), XBMC for most of my media, and Media Player Classic Home Cinema for watching HD Matroska. My understanding is this software could combine everything into one! So a few questions. DVR Related Will guide info all be automatic when I install, with some type of setup wizard asking me my location and setting up the appropriate guide? Does it do any commercial/chapter marking so I can easily skip commercials (like beyond tv's smartskip) I'm assuming it does handle more than one tuner, that I can watch shows that have already started recording, etc, right? One of my favirote things in BTV is the 10-second skip backward/ 30 second skip forward buttons on my remote, will those work with mediaportal? Media Playback related: Does it support video cards with h.264 decoders? My CPU isn't all that new, so when I play a high def mkv with xbmc, VLC or regular mpc, it peggs my cpu at 100% and video often stutters. However if I use mpc-homecinema, which supports the hardware decoding on my video card, my cpu is 25% and plays beautifully. Other: Does it work on a secondary display? BTV doesn't work well that way, so I have to clone to my hdtv instead of using my hdtv as a second monitor. Does it by any chance work as a DLNA server? I have a Samsung BD Player that I currently use with Serviio, it would be cool if I could eliminate that too. [/QUOTE]
