I happen to have an extra HDD to try Vista on, so I installed it into my HTPC and gave it a whirl. I've run the Vista betas on it before, but until the build right before RC 1, it never supported any of my hardware. Then suddenly, that release was made public, and EVERYTHING was supported. MP ran ever since then, with varying degrees...

I've used one of these FM transmitters for years (mainly to distribute streaming radio): http://www.edmdesign.com/ - the 100mW LED model (including the case) which is no longer available. I'm in Sydney (Aus) & we have a very full FM band (plus I live on a hill & get all the weak signals), so it's been hard to find a free frequency. I...

I too have experienced this problem with amd apus. Try these three simple things in windows 7 as I believe it to be aero related.

Hi, You need a TV tuner card with a CI slot. Then you would need a CAM that would go into the CI Slot. The subscription card from your cable company goes into the CAM. You would have to make sure that the encryption system used by your cable company matches the CAM that you buy. The CAM is similar in size to a PCMCIA card but it...

Here is a review of that Venset TS700A TV Lift equipped with IR remote and Bracket TS700.

I've had problems with Dual DVB too. I'm running a Novat-t (old one) and a Visionplus.

I've just found some more recent Twinhan BDA drivers for...

As I said, I could go with the VGA to the VGA input on my TV, too. But thank you for the link. (Newegg shows some for $60, too!)

Hi Alexeix, The compro remote has a great layout and would be excellent with MP. I spent some time trying to get it to work using WinLirc and a serial receiver but it was too much stuffing around.
