Hi all,
I do apologize if this has been already answered. That means my searching skills are not as good as I think.

About 6 months ago I decided to upgrade to Win 7 on my htpc. After reading here on the forum that MP worked fine on Win 7 x64 I decided to try it but I was never able to get tv stable. When starting tv it would work for a few minutes then bad stuttering would start. I reverted to x86 version of Win 7 and it's (almost) perfect. Now I have bought a SSD and will reinstall everything and would like to try Win7 x64 again.

Before I start I figured I would ask if anyone has any experience running Win7 x64 and FloppyDTV/C tv cards. Any information will be helpful, for example what driver versions of the FloppyDTV/C driver, video driver etc.

I will greatly appreciate any information from people running a similar setup as mine.

Thank's in advance.

Regards,
GB

Hi!

Running two FloppyDTV/C cards (two different hardware revisions) on Win 7 x64. No problems at all. Latest firware and latest driver (rerported as 5.0.6070.3000 in device manager, but 5.7 on digital-everywhere).

Remeber that you have to use the 1394 OHCI controller "legacy" driver in windows 7 when using floppyDTV. (important!)
