   MediaPortal vs Kodi Comments

   Positive comment by rsbrux · Mar 9, 2021

   MediaPortal is a fully featured system which can install everything you need in one pass. Despite the URL "kodi.tv", Kodi does not include a TV backend and depends on the installation of a TV service like DVBviewer or MediaPortal to provide TV features, like watching or recording TV.
