What is the general consensus on the best PVR back end for Kodi?
No WMC/MCE.
I gave MediaPortal a serious go and just couldn't get some things working properly. I got guide data on most channels, but the speed and clunkiness was infuriating. I also couldn't get a bit streamed (DD) output no matter what options I tried. The picture quality and motion were horrendous as well.
I'm willing to spend the $39/yr HDHR guide costs if it's worth it. Is it fast changing channels? Fast to begin recording? Fast to rewind/skip etc? Passes bitstream Dolby to the AVR properly? Stable?
Basically I just want MCE without MCE!
What PVR backend have YOU settled on and why?
No WMC/MCE.
