[QUOTE="saitoh183, post: 1066111, member: 113049"] Hi everyone, I have always been on the fence about switching over to MePo because all the information and customization was a bit overwhelming. But with MePo 2 arriving and my wife wants me to setup something that isnt complex for her to use, i would like to move away from XBMC (even if its a great piece of software). I looked at MB3 but its missing alot of features that my current setup uses. I know that lots of my questions might be answered if i really dig in the forum but due to my time being limited (baby just wont have it :) ) i will post what im looking for and hope MePo can provide for my needs. I live in Montreal Canada, just so you know :) and this will be a long post so please bare with me :).
