Been playing around with various PVR software for Windows,
Tried GB-PVR, it is not very user friendly, kind of difficult to setup channel lineup. And tried to setup client server type relationship on 2 computers and did not work out.
Sage TV sounded very promising until tried its setup for a DVB-S and DVB-T setting. Well I did not manage to get far, after a search of their support forum, I found to get DVB-S or DVB-T setup work, it is quite involved. I am actually have high hope for this one as it charge so much.
I had been using PVR software snapstream / Beyong TV for years. It is very good, the only problem is it does not support DVB cards. That is why the need to try all these different PVR software.
I think I will settle for Media Portal for now, it is flexible, it got promising feature (does not all work). It got a lot of interest and support. And it is free. It works for me except analog video; and is not the most stable.
I think some of my problem with media portal can be solved by finding out a perfect set of codec to use. Will need to investigate the setting and combination of all of codec pages below. Unfortunately, I did install one of those codec pack on my machine, so it is somewhat contaminated with codec. Nedd to figure of somehow clean it up short of install the whole system.
