    Used it before, taking too much resources and not easy to configure with a few TV cards. Have you looked at open-source Media Portal?

    cheers ...

    I use Media Portal on my HTPC for my music and a few other things and Snapstream for DVR type functions.

    Give Media Portal a try. http://www.team-mediaportal.com/
