[QUOTE="tomfrogger, post: 92594, member: 20976"] I have used media portal since version one and have never looked back. I first installed MP on a 600mhz intel celeron and worked as perfect as i could have expected, streamed music & played divx movies all i required to start with. Over the last few years as media portal continued to improve, i have steadily improved my htpc, it has never been a problem adding extra TV Cards, Graphics Cards & extra disk space etc all smooth. I tried MCE and if you have a microsoft certified system i'm sure its an easy setup but for me it just didn't have enough customisation options & as has been noted before DRM is a no no. The best parts of MP: current music player is amazing, imdb lookup rules, dvb-t epg grabber excellent, TV-Server is a superb idea, MyTV Series plugin brilliant, My Weather is cool, My Trailers Plugin useful, in fact its all pretty marvelous :-) [/QUOTE]
