Does anyone have any thoughts?Īs far as GB-PVR, it looked nice, and everything I read said it was more lightweight compared to MediaPortal, and it didn't hang up the computers and loaded fast. I'm not sure how my of an issue this really will be with my system. On the downside to MediaPortal, I've heard it's a resource hog, slows computers down and takes forever to load.
