Is TVserver worth to install? (1 Viewer)

[No-body]

First of all Thank you all for a great program.

I use MP for 2 months now. From first install everything worked fine, some little bugs but no real showstoppers. Thanks for such a nice program.
About 3 weeks ago i suddenly got very bad stuttering when watching TV, could not find the problem but restored my first install and everything is running fine again.
The point is, my wife flipped when she couldnot use the the TV for a few days and it was very hard to give her trust again in MP.
Now i like to try TVserver, but i cannot risc the chance of faillure for some time again.
When i install TVserver are there still showstopping bugs? Or will i be safe to use it at my HTPC with only a remote?
Is the tvserver "wife"proof?

In my opinion absolutely (if u are using DVB-T -C or -S)!!

If u could tell us about your TV-card(s), provider and country? It might give u some more comments.

Is the tvserver "wife"proof?

When its up and running, yes

I'm using an analog Hauppauge pvr 150 card I want to buy a second card of this.
My provider is Casema in The Netherlands. Digital would be to expensive for me, because i need Floppydtv with cam module (twice) for digital TV.

Wife proof is only my old sat receiver. I kept it because of this. This is a Windows based beta software, changed every day. It means it can´t be stable If it is running, my whole family loves it

TV-Server is great. It can much more than the built in one. But because of this it can be more buggy also, I guess. So I would not expect more stability with TVServer.

I would recommend using a dual boot system. Then you can work on the tve3 system until it works fine for you and then switch back.

If you are only running analogue and have no issues with TVE2 ("built in"), then I'd recommend you stick with TVE2.

Thank you for your reply's, I will stay at the moment with The basic TVE2, i might try to create a dual boot so i can play with TVE3.

EasyBCD + iReboot, really make setting up dualboot easy, and allow restart into the OS of choice.
