[QUOTE="gloomyandy, post: 98952, member: 24855"] Anyone else seen the write up on MP in the latest edition of PCPlus? Part of general Media PC theme, MP is reviewed as the "Open Source" option. Gets *** (out of 5). Main criticisms: setup program is sep. and "over complex" the interface "looks good but isn't always easy to use" "Interface response time is slow" "TV playback isn't always as smooth as we would like" "occasional bugs locked the program up altogether" Final comment: "For all of this we have to applaud what the authors have done so far: it's a huge project, and we're impressed. MediaPortal is frequently upgraded so by all means give it a try. Just don't expect the quality of a commercial product." Other programs reviewed in the same artical: SageTV **** CyberLink PowerCinema 4 **** Microsoft MCE 2005 UR2 **** The same issue contains a few reviews of HTPC hardware and also has a hands on article about using GB-PVR, so it is worth taking a look....
