[QUOTE="chesh, post: 383378, member: 88249"] Oops, double post. Everything seems to be working ok so far. I'm having a hell of a time trying to transcode my recorded streams though. I tried MCEBuddy, WinAVI Converter, Mod Converter, & AutoGK to no avail last night. I used Arcsoft Total Media Converter this morning and then went to work, but when I left it had already gotten way further then any of the other programs. So, I'm crossing my fingers and waiting to get home to see how it pans out. Do you transcode your streams for archiving purposes, and have you found an automated system that works for you? I don't mind doing a little bit of script writing to move stuff to their appropriate places, just really looking for a way to shrink the files after I've watched them / X # of days. MCEBuddy looked like it was going to be my best friend in the world, but alas, it crashes with mencoder.exe errors. I even d/led the latest SVN build of it in hopes it would work better, but it got a little bit further and just canceled converting 10 mins further then the previous try. On a brighter note, I ordered the Hauppauge HVR-1600 yesterday and it should be in tomorrow. From what I read over at the SageTV community, this card should work as a dual tuner instead of a hybrid tuner and I'm hoping to have 3 inputs working by the end of the week/weekend. (Wish me luck....lol) I'm still working on getting the iMon IR receiver / front display working correctly, and I've tracked down a user on the forums here that has the same case as I do and hoping for a reply back from them with what settings they're using. Once I get that figured out and the Harmony remote programed, it's time to hook it all up to the main TV. THANK GOD I'M ALMOST THERE!!!! If it wasn't for the kind users on these forums, I probably would have ditched MP and gone with BeyondTV/SageTV by now. PS. How long is it taking to start up My TV in the newer builds? Faster then 10-15 secs? -chesh [/QUOTE]
