Totally wrong mentality.  Record everything and buy more hard drives to hold it longer.

In theory with DVBLink yes you could get this working.  I recommend trying out the “USB->Serial channel changer for DTV” that babgvant recommended though for 3 systems that would be more expensive than a USB-UIRT.

I believe it is an easy that the guide initially has it set with the “Repeat” info and schedules the recording at that time without removing it later.

If you have the episode previously recorded it won’t re-record though.

It happened to be last week, if it happens frequently (first time in since migrating to W7) I”ll write a plugin to fix.

Last I heard the next batch would be mid-September but I’ll see if I can get a more accurate estimate.

I don’t have a firm ETA yet.  There are new drivers that I want to see if it addresses 1 or 2 issues I’ve seen.

[b]Version 20100908[/b]

– Fix issues with some Tuning Adapters
– Fix issues with sleeping while Tuning Adapter connected
– Fix some Media Center discovery issues
New CableCARD tab in Diagnostic tool to help with activation process

After a lot of digging, I found vc1_dec_filter.dll which comes as part of the Intel Media SDK.  I had never even heard of this before.  It looks like babgvant had compiled to support VC-1 with version 1.5.  I did the same with 2.0beta5.[/quote]

I’m pretty sure there is no beta5.  The latest is 2.0.006_BETA2.  Did you mean 2.0.005? If so, try out 2.0.006.  I only did a quick test a couple days ago but the performance did improve.

At the moment you are limited to NVidia for 3D support but this will be changing very soon.  Both Intel and AMD will have solutions, Intel will be integrated and I believe AMD’s will be but I’m not positive.

It is very easy to add a discrete card so unless you have a 3D HDTV and want it now, it is worth the wait to get a “better” card when you need.

The components you listed are good but as ruwacked mentioned I would start with an Intel HD integrated graphics.

Both the Core i3-5xx and Core i5-6xx series processors support the Intel HD Graphics when paired with an H55 or H57 chipset.

For a primary HTPC I disagree with ruwucked that an i5 is “way overkill”.  I have an i3-540 and i5-670 (reviewed to be published in the near future) and I highly recommend both but absolutely prefer the i5 for a primary HTPC.  For pure audiovideo playback either processor will suffice but if you run commercial detection software andor video conversion the i5 offers a significant improvement over the i3.  It really comes down to what you want to accomplish.

I wouldn’t worry about the power supply, my i3-540 DH57JG idles at 24W and at load between 33W to 42W which is powered by a 102W picoPSU.

The i5-670 DH57DD didn’t use much more until I added added a few more drivers and peripherals

For 3D support the current Intel hardware does support 3D; Intel is working on adding 3D support to their HD Graphics lineup but we currently do know whether existing hardware will be forward compatible.  I honestly would not worry about it.  If needed you can always add a discrete card later when DX11 is more mainstream.
