[QUOTE="Blue Energy, post: 695981, member: 109162"] Thanks again for a very useful reply. Wow! What an effective and useful 'standard'! Might one be able to use Task Manager to check for excessive CPU use prior to video problems as a check for lack of h.264 acceleration? I was thinking that I read somewhere that in the US the cable delivery format standard is fixed by law so that, if hardware works for one cable company - it will work for all. Is this a myth? It's easy enough to upgrade your HD PVR firmware - but, I guess there's nothing you can do about a difference in hardware. Here's something I'm wondering - Does MePo/.Net prefer 32 over 64 bit in OS? I was thinking that it would be good to finally move into W7/64 and take advantage of the additional addressing space by adding more RAM. Are there any problems I should know about with using a 64 bit version of Windows? [/QUOTE]
