Just some observations

Added by Mark Tucker almost 12 years ago

Having used Tvheadend for sometime i have noticed the following:-

Pro's

1.Lightning fast channel change.
2.Very stable and no problems to speak of.

Con's : Not sure if these are bugs/Restrictions in Tvheadend/openelec or Xbmc.

1. Channel name/number comes up wrong in the channel editor and the timer editor in xbmc
2. The inability to scan channel icons into Tvheadend when using OTA epg means that i have to Put the icons on all the xbmc clients.(Major Pain!)
3. Series link not available in xbmc.(Major Pain!)
4. Recording popup/notification in xbmc is a little tacky (Does not always dissapear/appear when it should)

All in all though after trying all the usual suspects (Argus/mediaportal/vdr etc) Tvheadend is smashing to use.
