[QUOTE="solas989, post: 632861, member: 87399"] I had no idea where to post this...move it, delete it, I dont care. Anyway, I am catching up to life, so I revisited the MP forums and many people like to complain, and I did not see many kudos...so here is my kudos...Media Portal is great. The only negative thing I can think of about MP right now is in my sig...there are just SOOO many options...but I love options lol. My biggest previous complaint about MP was the lack of smooth upgrades...but with RC3+ or somewhere around that time, it seems that is not an issue. I intially installed RC4 waiting for RC5 because it fixed some issues I was having. I executed the upgrade and all was successful, I was quite pleased. TVServer on 1.02 was excellent...before my motherboard died, it was up and running for 6 months straight (I did not update windows xp sp3). I never once missed a recording...unless it was my fault (darn fat fingers). The front end crashed every now and then, but I was not worried ever since the TV service came around...it just plugs along with no issues. I had the remote and it was just a button to restart MP. Favorite items (no order) Last.FM Moving Pictures plugin My wife LOVES the MePo character, but we use BleazleWide v8.1 so she is sad Stability: I have not had many issues with 1.02...and with 1.1RC5, I runs smooth. Bad... Well at this point, I have not played much with RC5, but the major issues I had with 1.02 have indeed been fixed. I am sure we all have negative points, but you will always have bugs, issues and what not. They apparently dont bother me at this point, or I am not aware of them. Installing now is easy as pie...but configuring is still a chore. BUT, in order to accomodate so many different configurations from around the world, I think everyone who has worked on this has done and [B]EXCELLENT[/B]job attempting to simplify and explain it. The worst part I think, which still exists about Media Portal, is documentation, but I know documentation is a PAIN (I know, I do as part of my daily job). Again, [B]THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK EVERYONE HAS PUT INTO MEDIAPORTAL!!!!!!![/B] For those that dont want to pull my system specs down --> this works great Win7 32bit ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 880g Motherboard AMD Athlon II X3 435 2.9GHz PowerColor AMD 5450 with HD Audio over HDMI 2GB DDR3 Ram, el cheapo 1.5TB of storage locally, 2TB storage on network Hauppauge TV Tuner, 2250 (LOVE IT) Silicon Dust HDHR Network Tuner (LOVE IT) HT Omega Claro Sound Card.
