[QUOTE="orph, post: 685876, member: 89413"] After playing around late last night... I got it working. The problem is with the HDMI Drivers I suspect (or the TV) not supporting Dolby Digital or DTS thru HDMI. Only supports 2 channels of audio. I read up on other sites other people have that problem. That said, I used SAF anyways, with FFdshow enabling pass-thru and Mixer to 2Channel Stereo, then disabling passthru, while keeping PCM. While MPC-MPA audio codec worked when using Stereo and not SPDIF (yes, thru HDMI... weird huh?) the reason I kept SAF is cause, while playing around yesterday, after uninstalling SAF, I had trouble playing some Online Video streams and RadioTime streams (specifically MP3 streams) I'll look at bitstream and give it a shot. As for video... works great using Microsoft DTV-DVD... lower CPU usage than both FFdshow and FFdshow DXVA. I was streaming 720p via Wifi beautifully... that said, the router is 3ft away currently (1080 was a no go... wirelessly that is). I'm currently looking at PowerLine ethernet for my long distances. As for moving picture, I thought it loaded quickly (avoiding categories). I'm using Maya skin because it's one of the more simple skins. I find anything with FanArt to slow the UI way down. BTW, I am using Windows 7 32bit. As for USB boot.. I used this utility to make the boot disc: [url=http://www.askvg.com/a-bootable-usb-utility-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista-server-2008-and-7/]A Bootable USB: Utility to Create Bootable USB Drive to Install Windows Vista, Server 2008 and 7 - Tweaking with Vishal[/url] Thanks for your help guys. And great suggestion for an inexpensive little box. So far I'm quite impressed by it. A good wifi antenna and IR receiver built-in would make this thing just phenomenal. [/QUOTE]
