    The 3650 is more modern/more powerful with better DXVA support so that would be my choice (and 256MB RAM is enough for MP).

    Why not go for a 4650 instead ?

    The 3650 was given to me. as the HTPC is strictly media play back (I have a small monster for games) I was trying to decide if there was going to be a substantial difference between my old 2600pro and the 3650. well I tossed it in and updated drivers and it turned out to be a 512mb version and not the 256, nice surprise for me. It ran 10x smoother than the 2600 so I am happy I got it for free.

    thanks for the input guys!

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode?

    I compliment you on the thoroughness of your investigations. (y) Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas what the problem might be. :( Perhaps someone else will post with some suggestions. :unsure: -- from CyberSimian in the UK

    Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
