MediaPortal is an Open Source media center software that acts as front-end for Personal Video Recorder (PVR), video, pictures, music and many more functionalities. As a Microsoft Windows based application, MediaPortal is quite unique compared to the many Open Source media center programs the Linux world possesses, such as MythTV, Freevo, VDR, GeeXboX, etc. MediaPortal allows a computer to perform many entertainment-related tasks, such as recording, pausing, and rewinding live television, much like a PVR box such as TiVo.

MediaPortal supports a plugin system and a skin engine allowing the base software to be extended to perform whatever functionality the user desires. [edit]
