Re: Which Media Center ?

["Martyn Wendon" <martynwendon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been using GB-PVR too for about the past 5 months or so and
prefer it
over anything else I've tried (MCE, SageTV, KnoppMyth, etc)

Easy to setup & use, very actively developed, helpful forums, plenty of
plugin developers, loads of supported hardware (including using the cheap
Media MVPs as "extenders").

My setup currently includes 2 freeview tuners, 1 analogue tuner and 1 NTL
box connected by s-video input.  All works flawlessly with built in web
admin too allowing other PCs on the network to set recordings etc.
