Definitely check out GotAllMedia (GotTVPvr). The timeshifting seems rock solid.

Please elaborate on this. I've been running BTV 3 for over a year, and just upgraded to BTV 4 and I've had no problems at all. It even does timeshifting and recording using my SW card without any kind of hiccup at all (which I had with MP).
Of course its the best, for me there isnt even any competition. Why is that you say? Because i use DVB-C tuners to watch pay-tv, and they dont work with MCE or any other real HTPC programs (that i have found anyway).
But apart from that, the open source aspect is important for me. I have a M.Sc. in computer science, and i like just being able to fix bugs as i encounter them instead of hoping that some company that doesnt give a damn does.

Alt. 3 - I have not tried EVERY media app. out there, so I realy can't say...
I have tried meedio, sage tv, mce,,,
I don`t remember them all, but meedio was much slower to swich channels so I used mediaportal.
My friend installed MCE on his computer and I hated it. Looks like its made so even pets can use it.
Now I dont use the tv-card becouse it suck's when it's bad signal.
I like mediaportal becouse of it's features and support

Is MP the best? No.
I think the question that should be asked is: Does MP have the potential to be the best?
For that question I would say "yes"
Watching MP development from the design side, I can see that there are still a lot of things developers and the community in general can do better, but for the most part, we have a strong foundation that we have to build on.
Project organization, developers, tweaking and bug fixes, documentation, etc... all of which we as a community can improve on to make MP a great program - and it will be later on.
It just isn't there quite yet.

I guess it depends on what your needs are. Im not aware of any other HTPC program where i can use (dual) DVB-C tuners, neither gallm or MCE support even one of those.

On the assumption you are using an OTA/Cable or Sat tuner then no internet connection is required for live TV recordings. BUT only if you already have Media Portal fully installed and functional. For all practical purposes you will need an internet connection to get Media Portal properly installed on a PC!

Ran into this problem following an otherwise sucessful upgrade from MP 1.34 x64 to MP 1.35 x64 the CEC Remote plugin which I use just to control volume and standby, will no longer put my devices (TV & AVR) to sleep when the HTPC is put in standby. Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...

OK, I found a way to make it work. It seems like MP-TV-series Configuration (and Moving Pictures Configuration) starts as Administrator, and the Administrator do not have yet logged in on the UNC \\192.168.222.247\Public even if the normal user on the PC have done it.
