x64 Tv Server (1 Viewer)

[chinga69]

if your going to run clients you need to allow these through the firewall

TVService = Can be found in your TV Server directory
SQLServr = Can be found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn"
SQLBrowser = Can be found in "c:\program files (x86)\microsoft sql server\90\shared\"

I'm building a new HTPC I want to run vista 64bit for 1 reason: I've bought 4GB of RAM and I want to be able to use it all. I've got a PVR-150 PCI, WinTV-2200 PCIe, Technotrend S1500 PCI and a Dvico Fusion PCI they all have 64bit drivers available. I'm going to give it a go but I thinks me might be asking for trouble!

im running vista 64 and cant use 4 gig of ram with my digital now pcie tv card there is some sort of issue with pcie cards and 4 gig or more of ram so i think you will have the same issues any tv program crashes including mp
i also have a twinhan pci slot tv card which runs fine with 4 gig of ram there is no fix as far as i know of at the moment .
let me know how you get on i think your pcie card will give you problems

pcie tv card there is some sort of issue with pcie cards and 4 gig or more

hmmm ok, so if I run 32bit and the O/S only "sees" ~3GB will I be ok?

 

[chinga69]

yes it will be fine

but give it a try on 64 bit you may be ok

 

[mcraenz]

cool, well maybe I'll just be lazy and go straight for vista32, only 3GB of RAM oh well!

 

[chinga69]

you can try the vista 64 bit for 30 days trial
my pci card is all ways used by mp as the first card so if your pci cards load first you can record and watch the 3 pci cards without any issues you will only get the problem when you try and record enough shows at once that it has to use the pcie card
at worst go for 64 bit vista with 2 gig of ram . if you run 3 gig you will disable the dual channel on the ram unless you have two 1 gig sticks and two 512 sticks then you will keep the dual channel on the ram or check if the bios will let you limit the ram to be used and get the 4 gig and wait for the fix

You can even with Vista 32bit , but you need SP1 for this task.

Unfortunately this this only a display change. i.e. Windows will now report how much RAM is installed but it will still have the same 3.0-3.5GB Limits
