[QUOTE="donmega, post: 32831, member: 16266"] So recently I switched over to MEEDIO because I kept running into problem after problem with media portal. Some were fixed and some where known bugs and some I was just out in the cold on. Let me try to cut to the chase as quicly as possible. I think Media Portal is great, its extremely powerful and evolved compaired to what else is out there, and although this is only somewhat impressive what really makes the program shine is thats its free to all. But what if it wasnt? Ive been toying with the idea that maybe we should pay, look at it this way Microsoft Media Center OS is around $180 ? or something like that MEEDIO is $45 Other greats are anywhere from $40 - $90 By paying a little bit of cash I believe we would help to speed development, why? because time = money with money you buy time, bought time = more work (in a nutshell). So how many of you would pay? and how much, please vote below. And please check out the other software out there and see what your alternative would be if media portal up and went tommorrow. Software like meedio @ $45 with their 10 supported tv cards, or MCE which means a complete re-install. I mean seriously how many of us dont have AT LEAST an extra $10 or $20, I mean com on. How about you dont smoke for a few days, skip a couple lunches, these developers are hungry too you know. Borrow if from your grandma, mow a lawn, you know its just not hard to make $20 imo. We all spent hundreds building our machines, some over hundreds in TV cards alone and then we want to cheap out when it comes time to buy software ???? Doesnt make sense to me. Think about it, Oh yes and vote. [/QUOTE]
