[QUOTE="f4u5t, post: 680123, member: 108409"] Hello all, New guy here, I am preparing to switch my Mythtv box to Mediaportal, to try it out. I have both XP sp3 and 7 pro that I could use, is there any particular advantage to go with 7? Im leaning toward just using xp just to keep the footprint smaller, maybe a bit leaner. The machine I will use is a 2.8ghz AMD box with 2gb of ram and a 256mb nvidia 7300gs card. not the most powerful machine but It runs Myth fine. I have a PVR-250 and I am connecting via firewire to my STB, a SA 3250HD ( I had to use a profile for a 4250, or something close to make it work under Myth) Ive used Myth since about 03 and havent really tried anything else, I figure I may as well see what else is our there - Im exited to give MP a run, It seems to be pretty flexible, and has plenty of add-ons - and it Open Source! Thanks for any input [/QUOTE]
