  1. Re:I would like to see a better review... on PVR's Head-to-Head: MythTV vs. Microsoft MCE · · Score: 1

    I would like to see how MediaPortal compares with that roundup as well.

  2. Opensource HTPC. . .and still keep windows on PVR's Head-to-Head: MythTV vs. Microsoft MCE · · Score: 1

    MediaPortal is a fast improving htpc that is opensource and runs on windows. If you just don't feel you have the time for MythTV because you don't know much about linux (not likely to be a big issue on this board), you might have another option.

    I have been playing with MediaPortal (mediaportal.sf.net) for a month now and have been enjoying it. It is improving quickly. . .and I am able to stay on a platform that is much more familiar to me. I have had MythTV installed via KnoppMyth just before I found MediaPortal, and my installation was pretty successful, but I didn't have the time then to get everything working. Sound wasn't working after the install. . .

    Anyway, there are lots of options out there. . .check out MediaPortal. And if you are a windows programmer, bring your coding skills as well.
