Don't get me wrong please. I appreciate all the hard work put in by everybody involved in this project. But as basic user, I am trying to make a decision as to what to do and I think I need a more informed view.
The reason I ask is because I am starting to ask myself why did I move away from Mediaportal a few weeks ago. I am not that familiar with techical details, but from a basic user perspective this is all I can think of at the moment. Please let me know what am I missing.
MediaPortal Pros:
Seemed to be much more refined (not that I care much about looks)
More functionality
Flawless navigation
MediaPortal cons:
MediaPortal used to crash once in a while (for example once a week).
Channel changing wasn't very responsive
After a few weeks of using nPVR this is what I think about nPVR:
nPVR Pros:
Love the channel changing responsiveness
Love the timeshifting method
Robust (or is it?)
What else ?
nPVR Cons:
Crashes everyday, at least for me
Skipping is not usable, at least for me
Subtitle(DVB) is not usable on recordings/when timeshifting - it is ahead by about a minute
Or are there any other PVR options out there?
All I personally need in a PVR is basic functionality, responsivness and Robustness.
