[QUOTE="CanadianEh, post: 1287390, member: 114499"] I had been using MediaPortal 1.x since around 2011, but have recently moved away, switching to a combination of Plex and NextPVR (with xteve to grab channel lists). The main reason is the availability of Plex's clients on literally every streaming device - Roku's, Fire Sticks, etc. I had been using the Mediaportal integration with Kodi for clients, but we all know it's less than ideal and it still required me to have Raspberry Pi's scattered around the house (Kodi is not available on Roku's). I will say that Plex's LiveTV DVR lacks a ton of features compared to MediaPortal, and streaming to client devices are not nearly as smooth as Mediaportal at times (odd movement in fast scenes sometimes), but the convenience and simplicity of the solution from a device management perspective makes the trade-offs a no-brainer for us. That being said, if MediaPortal had non-Windows client options - specifically FireTV and Roku, I probably would have stuck with it. [/QUOTE]
