I had the idea I could use it both as an "admin" computer and a MP entertainment machine... That machine now only runs surfing, e-mail and such stuff... just could not have all the crashes Vista and MP caused... So after a while I built myself another machine (spec on the left: v). Here I decided not to run Vista for more stability (?)......... well anyway, I now have some channels accessible (through Swedish cable company: comhem)... but there are several points that I'm not getting to work as they should/or at least as I thought they could:1. Can't get the EPG to work at all now... has at best only "grabbed" a few channels for a couple of hours ahead... 2. I'm not getting the FireDTV-C to work properly I think. In one forum thread it said that in order to have more than 1 channel active through one CAM card there was a setting in the CI program to activate multiple channels... I just cannot get to that menu in the CI... So singel channels are what I'm stuck with.3. I have ordered a 5 HD channels-package from comhem, but the only thing that happens when trying to access any of them is that MP freezes up (with no sound and no image) and the only remaining course of action is a hardware reset... (causing defect files in MP?)4. I think maybe my fireDTV-C could be defective, lately it sporadically activates the CI and reports: "No access" even when MP is not running... and when MP is running it doesn't appear to be affected??? Earlier a report often read: "Error getting MMI object" if I recall correctly...5. The remote control for the FireDTV gave up working with MP a while ago, but still works fine with My Theatre...I think I have been trying to get MP to work for about half a year soon but this is only as far as I've come... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" /> (oh... this smiley just totally cracked me up... wonderful!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> )Well anyway... I'm taking it step by step, and the hardware is kind of a prerequisite I guess... so therefore I'm very curious about the difference in the image quality between a 7300 and a 8600 card... any comments appreciated <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
