thanks, i'm fine. Just get much less time for developing (if at all). Hope you are fine too.
if you can get it for free - then grab it and use with W7+MP, as it is still capable of handling liveTV 1080i, though does it on its limit. TVSetup takes 50 seconds to open all scanned tv channels (i have 2.7k channels, but on my 4core phenom...

Hi @TheBatfink - it works for me, if you can live with the one off dropped Frame on 1080i (not using much HD at the moment, I have no HDTV TV Input). I have win 8 on it. The IR is not a normal MCE, it is a philips spinnel one, for which there is a beta Version of the IRSS.

I have now started this codec discussion on this part of the forum here, as it is more relevant.
However, just by way of an update for others who may have similar problems, I installed the SAF6 codec pack by Hoborg and unlocked it. I started using the PDVD11 codecs which specifically use the GPU's processing power and after a fews...

the program is called hibernate trigger if i'm right. With this program you can execute a batchfile when a system goes in standby or comes out.
When my system comes out of standby it waits a few sec to get the nic online, then send a wol packet to the server en then starts mediaportal.
When going to standby I start a program killtask...

Well, I think as a pure server, any Core-i-CPUs is oversized. I am currently to some research on MediaPortal on a Atom D2800. I currently struggle some hardware issues, but software in general seems to work. If you speak some german, read more on my blog.

The small BIOS coin batteries in my 2 devices died years ago. I dont think the battery maintains any data essential to boot the device. The drive on my first one failed a couple of years ago. It showed up in BIOS as being only 8GB in size. I spent ages mucking about to try and get some life out of it running Windows again but gave up...

I believe the internal battery(3.5v) is what powers the clock and it is losing voltage cause of age. It is possible to replace.

I used to be a field techy for dell, and anyone that has been there would probably never want a dell product entering their house lol.
But even though I'd never buy dell products myself, I gotta say the specs for this are great for the prices. Not something that would blow all your savings and then leave you high and dry if it...

It is a steep learning curve, but that is because it can do soooo much!
My pals (when they come around) like what it can do. One mate is especially envious as he is paying about £90 per month to Sky for multiroom, and I can pretty much do the same thing and have YouTube, iPlayer and all the other...

After playing around late last night... I got it working. The problem is with the HDMI Drivers I suspect (or the TV) not supporting Dolby Digital or DTS thru HDMI. Only supports 2 channels of audio. I read up on other sites other people have that problem.
That said, I used SAF anyways, with FFdshow enabling pass-thru and...

Correct, particularly if you are using DXVA hardware video decoding i.e. the video decoder inside the GPU.

I'm thinking seriously of adding the Core 100HT-BD as a client, then moving my TVServer out of the media room. I'm considering the barebones unit and adding an i5-750 and 4 GB mem. I think a 32bit OS is all I'll ever need for just streaming media from the server. My gigabit wired network should carry the bandwidth just fine. The only...

Yeah, I was surprised about your noise issue, mine produces not sound at all, even during summer time when weather is hot and playing with HD content (36 GB Avatar). I am extremely happy with this piece of hw, the only thing I am not 100% satisfied is the time it requires to boot up (around 2 minutes), but I hardly use it because I...

Ahh... I vaguely remember mine doing something like this on an install reboot and IIRC when it wanted to reboot during the install procedure I just unplugged the USB drive (or possibly just ejected the disc) to stop it installing from the beginning again.

That would be my recommendation - if you feel you MUST have these, as opposed to 'if it don't work, no worries' then I'd recommend something with more CPU power, so you avoid the risk you'll invest and then find your hitting brick wall. If you happy to try and share success & failures, then different story:-)
Good luck which ever...

Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11 Review: Next Gen ION is Better & Worse than ION1
NVIDIA’s Next Generation ION isn’t exactly the follow on that we expected. While GPU performance has improved, in many cases it’s a bit slower than the original ION thanks to the anemic PCIe x1 connection to the chipset. This isn’t NVIDIA’s...
