[QUOTE="mcjimbob, post: 86259, member: 26138"] First of all hello all, i'm new here but have used MediaPortal briefly. I'm currently in two minds between using mediaportal OR MythTV. I had a lot of fun setting up my HTPC with MythTV and I must concede that it works fine most of the time but there are a few things that niggle me about it (never seemed to be fully working). I dabbled with MediaPortal before my MythTV project and I have to say that I liked it overall but stability was the main problem (perhaps these problems have been addressed). The other killer for me was the dvr-ms encoding. I would prefer mpeg encoding (I know you can convert though). MythTV's advert removal clipping feature is nice, do you have similar in MP? I'll be moving into a new house next year (currently living with in-laws while house is being built) and want to utilise our new "32 HD LCD with the HTPC, i'll want to use it for playing games etc as well so windows would be beneficial, I would like MediaPortal to be at the heart of that! I'm excited about the new tv-server possiblities (a feature which myth tv also provides). Also will it work with IMON remote/VFD etc? Would be interested in hearing your arguements FOR MP over mythtv with regards to my situation??!! Many Thanks, Jim :thx: [/QUOTE]
