[QUOTE="poppabk, post: 179860, member: 54649"] Just wanted to add from my experience as a new user. My HTPC is just my desktop computer with a PVR 150 thrown into it, with XP and stable 0.2.2 installed. I am using my old ATI remote wonder to control it. Honestly I found installing and getting MP up and running as a PVR to be relatively simple. I still have some issues with performance of menus but I accept this as my computer is relatively underpowered. I am based in the US and use the yahoo xmltv generator form the GB-PVR forums to get my EPG and my channels are automatically ordered how I want them, not sure how or why but it worked without any problems for me. My wife uses it also and is quite happy other than my awkward remore setup, but this is my fault for being cheap and using an old remote, sooner or later I will probably just shell out for an MCE remote, which has the buttons labeled more accurately (press info for info instead of press D for info!). I am not using a lot of plug-ins nor am I viewing videos generated outside of MP so a lot of my success may just be due to this. I have had problems with DVD navigation however, but I don't watch DVD's enough for this too have been a major issue for me. [/QUOTE]
