Re: Primary HTPC Software Results and New Poll!

I missed the poll too!  Not sure how I did that, but I haven’t been that active on here lately.  1 more vote for SageTV to offset Jennyfur.

I’ve used MC but just for windows XP and it had way too many limitations.  I’ve been with SageTV ever since.  I tried boxee and found it didn’t add anything over SageTV and didn’t support recording.  XBMC I use on my laptop but just for the occasional movie when traveling. 

“Other” may be CE devices like the popcorn hour and other media streamers

On a side note, I think entirely too much attention is paid to the UI of these solutions.  I can learn the UI in a day of using the product and after a week I don’t even pay any attention to the UI.  MUCH more important is the functionality of the software / hardware.  Boxee and XBMC are just media player UIs and offer me nothing more than a pretty face.  They have great UIs and are nice to use, but I need more out of my HTPC.
