MediaPortal is a software designed as a full mediacenter. It offers both the opportunity to listen to your music on the radio, watch your videos and DVDs, schedule and record TV shows, etc..
Its interface is very nice with a presentation that has nothing to envy of Windows Media Player. This application has been specifically designed for remote control operations. MediaPortal has a lot of features (until weather report, or even a game of Tetris) that make it a very resource-intensive program and space on the hard disk. Whatever. The fact that he makes available for free absolutely recommendable compared to its equivalent fee.
