   This program is great, although, it's interface is a bit slow at times and you have a good refresh time upon startup as well as initiating a media library rebuild.
   
   Other than that, TVersity is definitely a fantastic solution for a home based DLNA solution, such as my setup with my PS3. I highly recommend it as nothing has been easier to configure. I say that as of right now, this receives a solid 4/5.
   
   On a side note:
   
   UAC is a solution that software developers need to adapt to. Programmers have been coding poorly for years, relying on storage of settings and parameters outside the documents and settings\username folder and using other poor coding techniques. UAC should not need to be disabled for this program to install. It works fine with UAC Enabled after installation, but during the install you have to disable it and that is unacceptable. That is like telling someone you have to disable your house power in order to get your TV's wall mount installed on the wall. That should not be the case and is the fault of the developer not Microsoft. Thousands of software applications work with Vista's UAC enabled, in fact this is the only one I have found which does not, and I believe TVersity should alter it's programming to work with UAC as well. This is solely TVersity's responsibility to fix their lack of programming standardization.

   Don't blame the software for your crappy UAC. Thats a Microsoft problem not the software you moron. Man I can't stand people like your dumb a** blaming the software for not working "right" when its a WinBlows problem. Learn how to use a computer then comment idiot!!!!

   Not bad - but I still like ORB better - and is there support for Windows Mobile devices?

   Its sucks that you need to disable UAC to get it to run! :(
   
   I hope this will be fixed sometime soon!

   This program is a fine program, it works well for what it is designed to do, and I can easily share media throughout my home to various devices. Its easy to use, it is easy to understand, and its very powerful.
   
   That said, it has some downfalls. This version, along with all others, require you to disable UAC before you can even run the installer. The second issue is that you have to rebuild your media library after every update. The third is that it loses certain settings (such as the menu structure) every time you upgrade. These are all minor issues but I think they should be addressed. UAC hasnt been a problem for 95% of the installers out there, unsure why this one is having an issue with it. The UI is also a major downfall. Flash based is not a good way to go as it is slow, unresponsive at times, and can provide very little info (such as progress on the rebuild or initial build of a library). A GTK style gui would be a good choice for cross-platform compatibility.
   
   Other than that, I recommend it highly. It is the best in it's genre, it blows media center out of the water.
