lol haven't got all buttons defined yet, but the crucial buttons for navigation works so that satisfies me for now. This is my first experience with blu-ray technology and I'm pretty pissed to find that I'll probably have to upgrade to powerDVD 10 so that I won't have any problems playing blu-ray movies. The drive came with powerDVD...

I turned off the "Ati External Event Utility" and I can now change my amp to another input (it's an HDMI switching amp) and then go back the the HTPC input and media portal is still there.

I stumbled across this thread, after having made a joke about Dutch people and their caravan homes, so here goes for a real post. The interesting thing about one of the Zotac boards is that it comes with a mini-pci slot. There are plenty of mini-pci 3g and GSM adapters, and even some dvb-t mini-pci cards, so given the small size, and...

The motherboard doesn't have integrated graphics, so that's a no-go. Looks like I'll have to keep the passive graphics card then. Now I just need to find a slim dual tuner DVB-S/S2 PCI card (the Shuttle is 5 years old!). I doubt I'll have any luck with DVB-S2...

MP1 MP2 The Newbie Question DE
Each broadcaster has an assigned RF frequency to use with a bandwidth of 18 MB/s (not exactly sure on the units, but it's adequate for a single HD broadcast and a couple more low resolution sub-channels). And, while the broadcast stream includes all of the sub-channels, one can stream the entire TS to a HDD, but that's where you guys...

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it made no difference. Disabled both AMD and ATI services to no avial. Have also tried after removing CCC with no luck. Have set LM Remote Keymap to run hdmiOn.exe on a remote button press so can resend HDMI handshake and 'wake' the screen up manually for now. Seems to be a fairly long...

I ended up bying one WD Green Caviar EADS15 1.5TB for tuner 1, two WD black scorpio 360 Gb for tuner 2 + 3 (less than 3w when running...). Those three HDD will be dedicated and stay outside the WHS pool. I figured tuner 1 is in use 80 % of the time and will record the most. Movies will be moved manually to the WHS pool to my movie...

Hi onetoomany, I would say that your hardware should be more then ok for this. I don't have any experience of running 1.1 on client + server side - my main system has 1.0.2 and recently I'm doing some tests with an extra client, a 1.1RC1 on an Athlon II X2 240, 2GB Ram, W7-64 and this runs fine. Could it be that you have another...
