[QUOTE="kersonan, post: 261929, member: 56485"] I found Media Portal one night when Windows MCE pushed me too far :) one quick format to remove the festering sore that is MCE and i've never looked back. I've been really happy with the original version i downloaded way back then, granted it required a fairly good idea of computer concepts to be able to make it do what i wanted but i saw that as part of the fun. Yesterday I finally updated to Media Portal RC1 wow what a difference, you guys have done an amazing job with it. I was even actually able to get the NZ EPG to go finally. I have Windows Vista MCE option availiable to me but to be honest I'd never look at another app since using Media Portal. The new installer is pretty noob proof really, and I liked the sense of humour it displayed with the "write down the SQL server uname and pass" and the "we told you you'd need it" its the little human touches that i appreciate about it the most. The only downside I've ever blamed on Mediaportal was the damage to my wallet as my Media Box grew and evolved to take advantage of the features the software offers :) [/QUOTE]
