Me too.
It's what I use as a TV server client, and 720p works flawlessly.
In terms of OS, I tried Vista.. didn't like it too much, downgraded to XP, which worked ok. Now I'm running Windows 7, which works like a charm.

I downloaded the latest driver from the ASRock support site and everything works fine now. The Windows 7 CIR drivers that shipped with the 330HT did not.

Nothing to be sorry about, it is only a sort of mission :D I always try to sensitize people explicit for Wi-Fi as major source of numerous problems. This is far too often unrecognized, unregarded, forgotten - AND! it seems to be applicable here, since your 1080p problem sounds like a classic Wi-Fi issue ;) Good luck.

I have got a rpi as client in my bedroom but especially when your focus is on tv the rpi will be a very limited alternative to
a mepo client. Zapping is very slow and some say that the picture quality is very poor as well. I actually don't see
those quality differences but I won't consider myself as a professional anyway.

Re: AW: Asrock vision 3d 137B + Netgear XAVB5501 = the perfect MePo client?
Yes. The netgear XAVB5501 is officialy at 500Mbps but for me I have 230-240Mbps (according to the Netgear software) which is perfect for HD content. I watch HD TV and blu-ray rip without any stuttering.
The thing to know with the PCL technology is that it...

Hello,
Don't know if you want to talk only about the Asus EB 1012 but if you search about the best client, what about the Dell Zino 410 HD or the Asrock Vision 3D?
I would hesitate between these two ones...because they look more powerfull for HD contents.
Ideally it could be fine to have feedback from people with one of these ones.
