MP is by far the least user-friendly PVR when it comes to channel setup. I was determined to try MP but I refuse to add every channel by hand and go through the current XMLTV nonsense. Use GB-PVR as a model for how easy EPG/channel lineup setup can be. A PVR should be a luxury, MediaPortal is a hobby. I think developing a user-friendly setup should be on the top of your list.
