[QUOTE="WileECoyote, post: 500227, member: 83474"] I finally broke down and installed Windows 7 on my server this weekend along with MP 1.1. I had a driver issue with my usb to serial cable and SQL Server 2008 express needs a few firewall tweeks, but otherwise the install went great. The only outstanding issues are the mptraymod doesnt work with Windows 7 and the new Theatre 0.8 skin is not fully 1.1 compliant :( I am hoping updates to both will come soon :):) Im also having a problem finding the right codec to get DD on my DVD's. All in all, MP 1.1 is very stable. The HD-PVR code seems to work fine 'out of the box' with no mods needed. The tuners have been working flawlessly since Friday night. Thanks to Ixian with his new SchedulesDirect plugin the guide was up and running in no time. Unfortuantely Dolby Digital still eludes us. I have the HD-PVR's connected to my Directv boxes via component and optical cables. If I turn DD on the STB the picture will be 'jittery', but as soon as I turn it off everything returns to normal. I tried many, many, many different combinations to get it to work properly, but coudnt find the magic combination.
