[QUOTE="jtaivalmaki, post: 716555, member: 109700"] Just wanted to report that new[B] Windows Home Server (VAIL) build 7601 Release Candidate[/B] works out of the box with [B]MediaPortal 1.1.2.0![/B] VAIL = W2008 R2 as you already know. Just got both up and running without any deeper setups. Only WHS Vail install with all drivers needed, then SQLexpress 2008 R2 64bit and last but not least MePo install in two parts. First just TV-server install and then TV-client install in the second run. Didn't try the single seat at all. Also didn't have to install any BDA or other fixes just basic BDA drivers for my DVB-T card. Short list what I did: Get WHS Vail build 7601 and install it Get all hardware drivers and install them Get SQL express 2008 R2 64bit and install it (mixed mode and typed my own password for SA user) Get MePo 1.1.2.0 and install it. I did it in two parts. First the TV-server and after that I installed TV-client. Remember the SQL SA password :) Do all necessary setups. Yes, my WHS sits in the livingroom and is the only PC in the room. My personal preferred solution. The second PC sits in the bedroom and third is my laptop. Havent set them up yet for this new living room "bad boy" :) My hardware setup in short: Intel C2D E6850 CPU Asus mobo with 4Gb ram Seagate 500Gt 7200rpm 2,5" laptop HDD (TV-record and timeshift) + 2x 1GT WD caviar blacks for data & backup Terratec Cinergy 2400i DVB-T dual tuner Had almost same hardware setup with WHS vail 7600 build and it worked fine then. Haven't done a long term testing yet, but will report back in a few days. Seems to work fine. Easy to setup. Love it :) [/QUOTE]
