Posted by timothy on from the not-if-your-windows-are-managed-by-fluxbox dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new opensourced multimedia center for Windows has been released. Media Portal boasts the ability to turn your PC into an advanced HTPC (Home-Theatre PC) and PVR/DVR (Personal/Digital Video Recorder). It allows you to listen to your favorite music and radio, watch all your video's and DVD's, view, schedule and record live TV and much more. The software is a port of the homebrew Xbox Media Center software which requires a Modded Xbox to run."

    How is this new. I've been tracking this app for months now, downloading from time to tie and trying it. It's good and everything (mythtv and freevo stand closer to my heart by anyway), but drooling it being new stuff... well, just nother well informed guy.

    schedule and record live TV
    Does this mean that I can only record shows that are live? Well that rules out just about everything, as even "live" shows are on a short delay.

    But at least I get to schedule the shows. I would love to kick out all the reality show and replace it with more Buffy!

    Or perhaps the text means that we can record real time. With proper hardware, of course.
