Media centre software

[JonoB]

I'm in the process of building a new media centre PC, and was looking at the available choices.

-Mediaportal http://www.team-mediaportal.com/
-GBPVR http://www.gbpvr.com/
-Tversity http://tversity.com/home

Do you have experience in one or more of these? What has been your good and bad points?

Really dont want to have to try each one, since the setup and tweaking on each is a few days (weeks?) work on each.

MediaPortal can be a hassle to set up, but there are plenty of guides available and the forums over there are excellent. Has a nice EPG too if you can get it up and running.

Took me around 3 hours to get everything set up including clean install of XP. Can't go wrong with that.
