Anyone have any suggestions for a complete system that I could purchase on Tiger direct or other vendors that would be a dedicated sytem for HTPC using media portal.

I just put together a quote for someone from newegg, its a bit over your budget but it'll be a nice system. See attached zip file.

HDTV

Efros- think this system can handle HDTV on an LCD screen? Any tweaks you would recommend if I had more cash to spend I could do about 500 more.

Have no clue, but looking at the core duo and a 7300GS I would hope so!

Not a big fan of huge widescreen Flatscreen tvs myself, they're just too darned expensive at the moment. I must make do with my nasty 32" CRT

I eventually came across the TwinHan driver CD that was included with the original product. The CD contains numerous drivers for the different TwinHan tuner models, but the drivers are for Win 2K (32-bit only) and Win XP (32-bit and 64-bit). The drivers install directly on Vista, and the drivers can be installed on Win 7 and Win 10...

I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...

Just those I attached. I messed about with task priorities MP/TV-Server/SQL-Server and the issue changed to the skin.. I would do something, but it would be 10's of seconds before the action happened. Doing an Alt-Tab would flush the actions. Too weird lol!! So, with some flak from the family, I had to give in. I just did a...
