I use Media Portal (crucially, with the Moving Pictures and MP-TV Series plugins), but I intend to switch over to XBMC at the next release.

I use GB-PVR for recording (it runs as a service) and XBMC for playing back and it works great.

seft: you can get nightly builds from here, no need to wait for the latest version :).

Mediabrowser looks better than that imho m8.

I use VMC with Media browser, MCM to get my DVD covers & meta data (don't have to but they are better) & stark covers to add a little bit of a 3d element to the covers.

All looks great when fired up.

I have Vista Business, so no VMC for me. That Medibrowser does look pretty nice, when I get Win7 I might give it a go.
