I've been fooling around with VDR and MythTV for a couple of weeks and I've never been able to get it working quite right with my DVB-S card so I'm thinking about using MediaPortal.
MediaPortal worked pretty much immediately and with For The Record it should become a pretty advanced recording system.
However, I always think of Linux software as generally being more stable and faster so I'm a little leary about using MediaPortal even though I've already spent many, many hours trying to configure VDR/MythTV.
Anyways, what is the general opinion on this? How does MediaPortal (and the PVR backend) compare to VDR, MythTV, or even TVHeadend?
