Press Room: Promote MediaPortal
Welcome to the MediaPortal press room, where you will find the latest press resources for anyone wishing to review or promote MediaPortal.
MediaPortal is currently installed by over 4,000 users daily. Even though we have done little to promote MediaPortal, our number of users has grown, simply by word of mouth, since 2004.
Today, more and more people are becoming familiar with, and interested in, HTPCs and media center software. However, we find many users are increasingly frustrated with the limitations of other media center software. Some look pretty, but have little 'under the hood'; others are easy to set up, but limit what you can do and how you can do it.
MediaPortal is unique. It has power to spare, great looks and is easy on resources. Version 1.0 was released after five years of development, when we were sure the product was stable and included all the advanced features even the most demanding users require. Even so, MediaPortal requires about half the CPU and RAM that some other media center software require.
