Software: MediaPortal

As you know, after putting Mythbuntu to one side (because it couldn't install drivers for my Realtek NIC), I am using MediaPortal to test the P4 PC setup. So far this media software has performed very well with regards to detecting my devices (and especially the Pinnacle 7010iX TV tuner).

Have a read of this post on the MediaPortal forums, of one guy's experience with VMC and MediaPortal. Again MediaPortal wins on the grounds that the devices simply, are detected and work...
