Oh well, one of those questions can be answered by anyone. To get the intervideo codecs, just install WinDVD. A trial version should be all you need.
This lets you use the hardware decoding features that newer Via boards include and will take some of the strain off the CPU.

lol wonder if he ever did finish the setup
Nope, I did not finnish setup, and i'm still in the process of finding the right bits to use!!
I think I might just go ahead and buy an Elonex artisan LT for 399 from ebuyer..
Anyone want an EPIA MII 1200 512 ram , Nvidia xfx 5200 pci graphics card, Hauppage PVR 150 MCE, MCE remote and a copy of windows MCE 2005?
2 wintv go analogue cards and a nebula electronics DIGITV card with remote?
EPIA M 1000 with Zalman fan mate heat sink?
mail me and we can talk prices..It will be cheap.. I just want to get rid of the stuff!!
As you can see I've tried many combo's to no avail, I might not be the most patient of people but I do have a go and when the manufacturers of these motherboard stell you that it should work with MCE, you take their word for it.. Also when they tell you that its possible to plug two PCI cards into it i.e GPU and PVR card and have it all work under MCE is bollocks!!
cheers for giving me space to moan and if anyone has any suggestions as to what HTPC to get other than the ARTISAN let me know..
cheers
