I feel the pain of UI's. I am a current MythTV user. The system was a challenge to configure and setup but now its rock solid. No viruses no need to reboot or restart services etc. Myth is so flexible i learn new things all the time.
But just like Sage Myth lacks a "pretty" interface. Alot of it is due to not everyone having video cards+drivers that can handle the OpenGL. There have been attempts to make it pretty such as Gloss Frontend but it is still very beta.
I have thought about moving to MCE because of the graphics. But every time i learn more about the limitations I get more and more turned off. Other than the graphics the only other benefit of MCE is Cable Card. But i refuse to buy a whole new computer to get CC. (what other benefits are there? am i missing something?)
While MCE has its pluses i love that fact that Myth has commercial skip, Xvid export, DVD import, DVD export, channel renumbering, unlimited tuner restrictions, tuner priorities, server/client model, a Linux OS (Stable), constant new features, timestrech, re-encoding (is there anymore?) all built right in. Where MCE, AFAIK, you have to add all these third party plug ins.
“That iconic Klipsch sound is here in full force, with crisp highs, delicate mids (which can easily have a bit more meat added with an EQ tweak) and tight, booming bass.”
