    Wow, I'm actually reinstalling my WHS tonight, the timing on your post is ironic.

    w7 support, right?

    Right now I'm rushing to get it setup again so I can backup a couple of xp laptops I'm working on for a friend. After that I'll get it back onto all my systems here. I've been pretty lazy with my backups since I started using dropbox.

    w7 support exactly. Plus tight integration with Media Center.

    It dropped today as well. So the entire WHS universe is crashing upon us.

    Ya, I did my homework before updating and I was seeing a lot of chatter about pp3. w7 support is a foregone conclusion but I've lost all my interest in MCE since I got DirectTV. And then, of course, a month later MS gets Cablelabs to play nice. Why couldn't they have done that before I signed a 2 year contract. lol.

    Anyway, I like my Dish and I still use the HTPC for blueray and other stuff. This cable card system has been a complete disaster.

    yea. but now. Cablelabs ftw

    I think they got the picture that very few people were actually going to buy a full OEM system just to record cable.

    I think I would do it though.....if it were a viable option in my area.

    Actually, there's enough legit and semi-legit ways to get cable card tuners installed without having to buy a full cable card system. Apparently quite a few manufacturers like, oh say Asus released motherboards with ocur equipped BIOSes. So, some very, very basic hardware hacks OR just running a software utility after booting Windows allows a fully functional install. This all developed in the last 6 months and I have to think thats partially why Cable labs gave up. Once it was out in the wild they lost all control. Check the Green Button for more details. I haven't been following it that closely but the game has really changed in the last few months.

    oh yea I remember hearing about that.

    If somebody would release an alternative to the ATI tuner, maybe one that can handle multiple streams, I might have to give Charter a call
