[QUOTE="Tharsis, post: 35682, member: 17543"] I'm a p4 with a LC10M, and have the project mostly completed. I can also confirm no problems with ANY hd channels locally. The EPG took a while to get right but is now working 98% right (minor issue, probably something I did). One thing I would highly recommend is an aftermarket CPU cooler like the Zlaman, the LC10 is a quiet enough case but the cpu fans from intel suck for noise output. The other thing is, as the Hauppage tuners are fully supported stick to those. I tried others, didn't really have any specific problems it just seems to work that much better with MP and these cards. Just fitted it last night and it went in and is now working like a dream. Though i'm mostly talking about analog capure of foxtel here. I use a compro for the HD capture, slow to change channels but not unbearable. I use a projector for the display so I don't have to worry about output beyond the normal VGA DB15 connector. I have an older Intel motherboard as well that has everything I need onboard, there must be someone who has most things onboard in the AMD line. Looked at ASUS ? something like the [url]http://au.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=766&l1=3&l2=15&l3=210[/url] Though still not full ATX. One last tip, spend time tweaking XP before you fire up the MP setup, that extra prep time getting windows out of it's own way really pays off in the long run, faster boot times and no cpu time wasted on services designed for corporate PC use.
