Especially since the weather is starting to get better. I appreciate what everyone is doing to get this to work, i even donated to MP. not just because its amazing but because i fully support open source.Not to get off-topic but I have some questions for some if not all of you, hope you don't mind. I have a huge bluray collection and I want to share it with the whole house, even my neighbors. My house is about 130 feet from them and they can see my wifi at about 3 bars, which is kinda cool. But sharing with them is my last concern, I have my server pc all built and i've been contemplating which OS to use, I had hoped to use esxi and run windows server and a flavor of linux but that seems like a pipe dream with having this god forsaken cc tuner. It really looks like i will be using windows 7, which is fine by me, once this server is going, i plan to let it do its job and leave it alone lol. My main question is, have any of you tried running esxi or similar virtual scenario, windows and linux at once with a tuner card? if so, was it buggy? This server i have built consists of my year old i5-2500k in a asus p8z77-v deluxe with 16gb ram, reason i chose that board is it's basically like a low end workstation board with dual gigabit nic's, one being intel that supports teaming which is alot of fun. Also if im stuck with windows 7, will it atleast be 64bit or does that not work with the cablecard tuner. I have this server built but she has no OS yet, since i have been waiting and reading on what os to use, I got a free copy of server 2012 but it seems i cant use it which makes me want to cry because i tried it in a vm and it looks soo pretty. I was also thinking about buying WHS 2011 but like i said, This server needs to network share the infinitv4 and the 12tb of raid storage to my network. Also there is windows essentials, id be willing to get that if it worked with the tuner. I'm also wondering if i should cut my loses and buy a cheap i3 or celeron and put the tuner in another pc that way i can use a server os and not have to worry about tuner compatibility, or use linux as the fileserver and windows for the other stuff. You may be wondering why i want win server soo bad, I'm a web designer so i want a local test bed that i can use and i like to tinker around with stuff on pc's so this is half fun half work. Again, sorry if this topic went off. I just want to get this file server going asap and i think with some help from everyone on idea's, it will happen faster. And again, thanks for all your hard work and innovation!</blockquote>
