All in the title, fairly obviously.  Quick poll, as I look at changing from Vista Media Centre (*sigh*) so I can use Freeview HD.  Interested to see what people are using and prefer...

What software are you using for your HTPC, and do you do freeview HD?

GB-PVR (sometimes MediaPortal too) and DVB-S Freeview.  Sometimes use Freeview|HD with GB-PVR too.
