[QUOTE="praxidice, post: 1226566, member: 161152"] I've been wondering about that as well, however SWAMBO is one of those neanderthals who is still addicted to crap like Neighbours / My Kitchen Rules / comparable garbology, consequently there remains a need for something non-nerd friendly that doesn't require a tribe of propellor-hatted geeks constantly fiddling to keep the application functioning (hint tvheadend). In ancient times there were TiVo (which is rapidly approaching its use-by date in Australia) and Windoze MCE for regular folk, and several decidedly user-hostile linux based options. Mediaportal is possibly the only halfway comparable alternative currently existing for regular folk who want to record FTA. In my opinion, Android TV hasn't done a good job, although it may be that the renditions I've encountered aren't the best that is available. A common problem is the shockingly poor quality of what passes as user manuals. Translation of the most obscure chinese dialects into english has never been a huge success, especially for those of us who can't comprehend a single character of pre-school level cantonese. Then again, I do have a Raspberry PI someplace that has some unknown flavour of tv installed, but thats linux-based rather than android). I wouldn't say its the most user-friendly software I've ever encountered but it does find a heap of streaming videos that aren't known to google. [/QUOTE]
