RE: [H] Win XP Media Center
:-( Doh. I wish I hadn't installed it now. At least it didn't cost me anything as I have an MSDN subscription.

I'd rather use the MyHD MDP-120 card with it's own menuing system on a plain jane Xp system until MSFT can get more hardware supt for MCE. --+-- Wayne D.

RE: [H] Win XP Media Center
That's not true. Several HDTV cards work under MCE - including the MDP-120 :) Several report good success with that. But there has been some praise for the Avermedia A180 card as an option as well.

Re: [H] Win XP Media Center
I do believe you have to install at least one compatible analog tv capture card (hardware not software decoding) first in MCE, then the A180 should work fine. At least thats what I caught in a couple of the messageboards. I don't know though because I have issues with MCE's DRM limitations so I'm still using standard XP for my HTPC. I do have an A180 arriving tomorrow so I'll let you know how it looks/performs ;) I'm finally building my own SLI gaming rig with an A8N Deluxe mobo that I've had for 7 mos, so the opteron board will now move to the HTPC. Too many bills these days to do the monthly upgrades :( lopaka Chris Reeves wrote: That's not true. Several HDTV cards work under MCE - including the MDP-120 :) Several report good success with that.

RE: [H] Win XP Media Center
Yep, MCE requires you have one standard analog tuner first before an HDTV tuner can be added. :) There are tricks to get around this with the ATI HDTV Wonder, but they suck, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone ;) -- FIGHT BACK AGAINST SPAM!

I don't believe that I stated that the MDP-120 would NOT work just that it's not officially supported as it does NOT have the MSFT blessing as of yet. I believe one of the Fusion cards do now tho. The link I provided was to the official MSFT list of approved hardware but as with all things concerning MSFT hardware the list is hardly complete is updated all the time even tho that web page may not be. --+-- Wayne D.
