MediaPortal is a complete media solution that lets you play DVDs and Blu-ray discs, watch live TV or record your favorite shows, listen to music and view your best photos. A streaming radio function is also integrated.

Checking RSS feeds, weather or news becomes easier with this media tool. All media files can be transferred over the network, allowing any HTPC/PC to play the same programs. The remote controls are software and web compatible, and mobile access allows users to enjoy the same features.

Playback is quite smooth thanks to MPAR technology. AVR compatibility supports DTS, Dolby Digital and all HD formats. As an open source project, one can notice the amount of work to develop a slick interface.
