Hi,
I have been using MediaPortal for a while and for the most part have liked it, especially since it is FREE, but for some reason I cannot get the TV Guide to display the correct shows for a particular time. It seems like the TV Guide times is off.

So, I am looking at other options and would appreciate your opinions.

Which of the following do you like and why?

MediaPortal
GBPVR
BeyondTV
SageTV
Meedio
Microsoft MCE 2005


I am looking for a PVR software package that works very much like TiVo. Also, I will want to archive to DVD to help free up HDD space from time to time and would like it truly be simple, but great video quality. It needs to be really simple for my wife to get use to. Thanks in advance.

I've used just about all of those and ended using one that wasn't in your list--mythTV. It's free, and probably the best PVR software package I've ever used. There's actually a mythTV linux distro called KnoppMyth that makes it really easy to get your box configured and running. The KnoppMyth community and support is very large and helpful.

Is the Firefly PC Remote really worth the money? Is it better than Microsoft MCE remote? Am wondering if I should take advantage of SnapStream's promotional when you purchase BeyondTV you get the Firefly PC Remote free. What do you think? Thanks again.

Adidas,
What do you use for a frontend? Do you use Beyond Media or something else?
