I chose Vista Business since I have it avaiable for free from work. I did a clean Vista install and installed the following applications in order: 1) operating system 2) os updates 3) device drivers 4) ffdshow tryouts beta 3 for playback of various video formats 5) Cyberlink PDVD 7.3 for MPEG2/h264 6) Mediaportal 0.2.3.0 7) Latest SVN 8) Latest TV server On my first attempt, I did not try running Mediaportal without installing the SVN since I needed TVEngine3 anyway.
