[QUOTE="Hetfield, post: 559162, member: 47345"] After using Windows 7 x64 about 1.5 months with MediaPortal 1, supporting only Windows 7 seems to be a wise solution. Only thing I am worried about is the TV-card drivers. For Windows 7 some manufacturers don't yet have very good drivers, especially for x64, which would be good because of supporting more than 4GB of RAM for a TV/Torrent/DC++/File server I am planning. In a bad economic situation, and uncertainty and changes related to upcoming technologies (HDTV, DVB-T2, CI+, etc...) many manufacturers probably won't put much effort for the drivers of the old cards. For this reason (if possible and sensible) support for XP/Vista in server solution would be good. So if the benefits of Windows 7 are only related to video playback / etc, please think about supporting a server only solution for other OS. It may be hard to find well working cards for DVB-T/C/S and also thinking the PCI/PCI-Express restrictions when you need many cards. About USB-cards I don't know so much. Is there any good thread or recommendations for selecting TV-card for Windows 7 x64? [/QUOTE]
