[QUOTE="nirvdrum, post: 21343"] I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. I very much like the idea of MediaPortal and think it has a lot of potential, but it's just not quite as good as other offerings, IMHO. This isn't meant to be discouraging, but is a reality check. 0.1.3 is not easy software to set up and configure. From what I gather, muc of this is being taken care of in 0.2, but that hasn't been released yet. BTV, on the other hand, takes about zero effort to set up. I've generally found BTV easier to use and easier to configure. So, while I agree MediaPortal is a nice bit of software, it still has quite a ways to go. Note I have no affiliation with SnapStream beyond being a disgruntled ATI MMC user that was pleasantly surprised to find out that PVRs didn't have to be so hard to run. Anyway, keep up the good work guys, but don't discount what other software offers because you think you're better than them :-) [/QUOTE]
