[QUOTE="upspace, post: 223076, member: 15624"] my point of view: dvbviewer is rock stable. no issues for days while letting tv on, having my wife and kids using it. it does its job fantastically - just osd, navigation etc. could be improved. but what has priority if it comes to stability vs. ergonomics and nice uis. the best ui does not help you if you don't get the damn thing running stable. and that what mediaportal's tv module is all about - server or built-in - it's is one of the most unstable piece of software i have ever seen. every month or two whe i am coming back to media portal to give it another try i see it gets even worse. sorry but i left mediaportal since version 2 even does not even focus on tv functionality but everything else. so it will be a long while till we get some decent and stable tv function. meanwhile other software will become better with the osd => check dvbviewer's latest high resolution skins. wow?! there is no all-in-one solution yet in the market. you have to go with at least two apps and try to integrate them. at the moment i am having vista media center for media library browsing (pictures, dvd, videos, music) and a plugin to start dvbviewer from within media center. pressing stop (to stop audio and video playback in dvbviewer),then green button on my remote always brings me back to media center. using the plugin in media center starts (brings to front) dvbviewer immediately. my wife has no problems with that - it looks all integrated (i think she even does not realize that there are two apps although differnent skins/colours:-) [/QUOTE]
