[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1010174, member: 82144"] Hello everyone First a quick progress update. I am and have been ready to release for two weeks or more now. The holdup is that we're waiting for Silicondust to release their next beta or stable firmware which will fix an important compatibility issue. So things are a bit out of my control... Yes and no. Yes tuners are generally tested and optimised with WMC. They may also be designed for WMC. However MP generally uses the same frameworks and interfaces as WMC, so you can usually expect there to be minimal if any difference in performance and compatibility between WMC and MP. In terms of tuning speed... I think you'd have to try it to get absolute confirmation. In the case of CableCARD the fact that MP uses UPnP/DRI directly rather than PBDA could actually mean we have faster tuning than WMC. I can't think of any specific reason that we'd be slower. Some people are very sensitive to tuning speed so please take my words as a general comment rather than a guarantee. I've used WMC for all of about 10 minutes and have been testing CableCARD tuning via RDP and TeamViewer in VMs. Also I'm not exactly unbiased! :D mm [/QUOTE]
