[QUOTE="deamon_knight, post: 1126054, member: 150503"] Thanks for the response CyberSimian, I really appreciate the help. This Media Center project has been years in the making. I built the first system maybe ten years back, running Windows MCE and an ATI TV wonder card. I've upgraded a few bits at a time, replacing the ATI card with two Hauppauge PVR-150s, and some other parts, but still running XP MCE. That XP MCE system is my current one.
