[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1033208, member: 103549"] Had similar reason to move to MePo 100% couple of years back - never regretted it. You can do everything you need to via remote, but as you say, aMPDroid is also on hand [not used it - until the phone is smarter than me it's not a smart phone - expecting one for Christmas then:( You have it and more, what got me hooked was personalization I could do. madVR - no idea, sorry, but I use range of SD content on 1920x1080 display using pure native LAV filters and Intel graphics with NO problems and full screen. My Living room system [no HD] relies on USB stick, basic k-World unit giving dual channel Free View, so you start cheap and expand. It is! There are a whole range of systems you can use, from my [low end, recycled chassis, slightly naff woodworking skin] <[url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/scratch-build.120107/>[/url] to the truly magnificent system Marcus built, see <[url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/my-aluminium-case.117909/>[/url]. Take a tour around the hardware forums, may help you settle on hardware - but SSD is a MUST:-) My NAS now sits on powerline [200M] adaptor [needed to clear space below TV] so drive speed it not issue - go green:-) Re services, can't comment, sorry, external amp [I have internal one] & SPID-F, yes, search forums, it's not uncommon. EPG with DVB-S - seem to recall some problems in forum [I use DVB-T, so apart from when the change frequencies, it's 100% solid] but not seen anything lately. To sum up, out of the box - MePo will give you 80%+ of what you want, add in plugins [MovingPictures & MPTVSeries absolute must for my money] + support from streaming services and your almost there - add some tinkering and you'll have more than Sky could provide [other than the content]:rolleyes: And problems, if you hit any, there are lots of people reading and supporting the forums(y) TTFN - JCMP.
