[QUOTE="reviTULize, post: 1223189, member: 154763"] I could spend time detailing all of the issues I've had, but it was take more time. Very simply put, I have had to spend way to much time tweaking and trying to make the software work. MP1 has worked for 5 years...but I remember spending a significant amount of time setting it up. Here's a summary of my grievances: [LIST=1] [*][SIZE=2]Changing channels. When trying to change from channel to channel using the epg, it takes forever for the channel to load. Almost like the software is locking up.[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2]Same remote used for MP1 does not work. I understand that there is something called InputManager that helps with this. But this is my whole point...it's frustrating that I am expected to have to figure all of these things out...and it takes valuable time.[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2]Audio of slightly behind the video. This worked perfectly in MP1[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2]EPG. This has taken up alot of my time and the only one I can get working is the xmltv plugin. Could not get the built in epg working out of the box. Again, the average consumer is not going to know how to create batch files, edit xml files, etc...
