I had been using WMC since 2005 and migrated to MP in March 2012, it was an adjustment, but definitely so worth it, the additional functionality and options it provides over WMC are huge.I got on okay with MP TV Server, there is a lot of work going on at the moment in re-writing it so a new, improved version will be out at some point. However, I recently got curious and gave Argus TV a go, as the back-end TV server, with MP as the main front-end, and although not perfect, it is good and I am sticking with it until the new MP TV Server is out. It may well solve some of your issues that you are having with the scheduling and EPG. Also, there is a scheduling app that can be installed on any windows machine (also the web based access works on Macs) which means I can access the Argus TV Server from my laptop to tweak schedules and alerts, I find this exceptionally useful.Having said that, if you have satellite tuners, lots of people rave about the DJBlu plug in for MediaPortal TV Server, I have not been able to use it myself as I have no satellite dish / tuners and am using a DVB-T/T2 set up only. I also have two additional machines in bedrooms acting as MediaPortal clients, which give exactly the same experience as the main machine in the lounge, this option was never fully implemented for WMC.With regard to your WMC recorded TV files, if the programmes are in <a href="http://www.thetvdb.com" target="_blank">www.thetvdb.com</a> and /or imdb you could use the TV Series plug in or the Moving Pictures plug in to catalogue them and get all the metadata and artwork.Anyway, I recently made a short video of my set up, just for fun (and to show off the custom artwork) using Titan extended skin, it's here:[MEDIA=youtube]oqPuy33u_70[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
