[QUOTE="nekkidtruth, post: 39860, member: 18665"] Earlier this week I was looking for some type of media center software for Windows. I've fiddled with NeroHome and Freevo (Under Linux of course.), but I wasn't satisfied with either of them. During my research I came across MediaPortal. I was quite skeptical at first, thinking it was going to be full of bugs and barely usable. Boy was I wrong. Although I did come across some minor issues, everything appeared to work fine after the initial installation. I didn't have a TV Tuner card but needed something to organize the videos and music I download. After about 2 days of playing with MediaPortal, I became antsy and was seriously considering purchasing a TV Tuner card as I have analog cable and wanted some of the benifits most digital cable providers offer (Such as pausing live tv, rewinding live tv etc.). So I "misplaced" some bills, and ran out to purchase a Hauppauge WinTV PVR150 MCE. I slipped the card in and was up in running within MediaPortal with very little effort! (I initially ran into a few minor difficulties that I managed to resolve quickly.) Everything is up and running great! I'm VERY happy! You guys have done an absolutely amazing job with this software and I most definitely look forward to future versions. As a little tease (For anyone currently considering using this software), I offer a screenshot of my EPG complete with TV logo's that I've customized to match the guide! Thanks again to all those who work on MediaPortal. Keep up the awesome work!
