[QUOTE="fiendmish, post: 761903, member: 113357"] Hi all, Saw some comments earlier about ION2 being more capable than the original ION, for media playback they should be about as good as each other (in fact the ION 1 will likely handle flash video better) I can't remember the specifics but the ION2 revision had something to do with changing the architecture to avoid other chip manufacturers getting upset rather than providing a significant performance boost. I've got a revo 3610 running media portal as a single site, so both the tv server and the mepo client on the same machine. Had no issues with choppy TV (but we don't get HD tv here yet) and had no issues with 720p / 1080i media playback either, plus can watch one and record another channel at the same time without issue. I run the Shark 007 codec pack rather than SAF as when I tried SAF6 I found TV playback was terrible (although I didn't play around for long before going back to Shark so may just have missed the one setting I needed). My Revo is able to run MePo, iTunes and a couple of other programs (Inc MS security essentials) quite happily at the same time. all I use it for is HTPC duties so it's a clean install of win 7 with just these programs on top.
