Hi,
I'm thinking on buying a pvr-500... and wondering about following:

1/ Does suspend to AND from S3 (suspend to hdd) work (power scheduler..)?
2/ Is it possible to watch a channel and record another?
3/ Is it possible to record 2 different channels?
4/ Does MCE-version work with Win XP Pro & MP?
5/ Does MCE-radio work with Win XP Pro & MP?

Please, answer if You have a PVR-500 and have any or many answers.

regards gabbe

    Short answer, yes. Longer one, I'm not sure about the standby, and if you want to use RC2 you'll need to get a CVS from around the 14th of Jan or newer, as this fixes a lot of problems with the Hauppauge cards.

    jawbroke: hmm, I did some search "PVR-500 AND suspend" but didn't find anything. I missed the wiki totally, thanks for that link...
    broklander: thanks for the longer one...

    If anyone can confirm that the hibernation thingy works, it seems that I not throwing away my money if I buy a 500MCE.

    thanks

    "Throwing away my money" and "pvr500mce" should NEVER be used in the same sentence together.

    I've had my PVR500 for over a year now and it was the best decision I made with regards to buying a TV card. I really need to get my ass in gear and buy another one.

    I can't confirm whether or not it works with Suspend as my HTPC runs 24/7.
