[QUOTE="mattoid, post: 33309, member: 17611"] you would lose your woman to a lemon tree? :lol: you are a poet, sir! back on track, I too think this is potentially the best htpc package out there. If you were to track my forum posts you would find that I have had as much trouble with the install as anyone, but then I am using hardware that was not chosen for MP and not fully supported, and you can't expect perfection in those circumstances. MCE2005 would not even install on this system- wouldn't touch it. Showshifter would not record video for me. MythTV needed rejigging, and much tho I like the idea of Linux, I don't yet speak the language. IMHO, the ideal solution would be to have a 100% ( :wink: ) stable release with core features only (and easy install) for those who need it, and a developement release with all the extra features and adaptability for those who simply can't keep their hands off the .xml files etc. But this is essentially creating two separate products, and all the extra work involved.
