[QUOTE="enricong, post: 1228798, member: 84747"] I've also been using MP for the past 10yrs or so. Initially, all I wanted was a way to watch my various TV shows and movies on my TV instead of computer screen. I already had a spare computer for file backup purposes anyways. I never used the TV engine much mainly because I use DirecTV so although the UI is better, it lacks many features that the directv box gives. For example access to more than one tuner at once. In the past 10 years, there's been alot of advances. People streaming stuff, netflix, etc, etc. I'd love one product that can do everything (play videos from my computer, stream from any website, access all the tuners on my directv. But that's never going to happen and isnt MP. In the day and age the average person expects to be able to download an app and it "just works". MP certainly is not at this state (and probably never will). One must devote a large amount of time to get things working the way you want. Those devoting the time and resources are rewarded with something that mostly works for what they need. But I don't think MP will never become a mainstream product nor do I believe it is the intention. [/QUOTE]
