    Oh and while I’m at it this weekend I’m going to do about a 100 foot coax cable run for the antenna to the attic.  Anything I should look out for cable wise?

    The fewer breaks in it the better (IE; don’t splice it).  Also with a run that long you might want to consider using one of these in-line amps [url=http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103913&filterName=Category]http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103913&filterName=Category[/url] to overcome the losses in a 100ft coax run.  Put the amp module right on the antenna (and weather proof with shrink wrap and/or electrical tape) and the power injector at the end of the coax run.

    Are you using VLC for just playback?  That is the only difference between your set up and mine except that both my WHS box and my MC7 machines are connected to the same Gig-E switch.  I haven’t modified MC7 for any play back other than adding TMT3 and AnyDVD-HD.

    When I transfer large files to and from my WHS I get throughput of about 300Mbits.  I can play back recordings from either machine on either machine.  I leave my recordings in their original format without removing commercials.  Are you converting them or removing the commercials at all??

    I agree…  The CCC should retain your current setting when you upgrade the drivers.  It bites me every time and you spend 5 min trying to tweek back to the way you want it.

    Go to the ATI CC panel.  There is an area to tweek the settings for Video playback.  These don’t effect the desktop settings at all they are strictly for video playback (ie WMP).  I would always use a DVD of The Incredibles because it has a basic THX optimizer in the bonus section, ran WMC7 in windowed mode so I could see the video and tweek the settings.  There is a Gamma setting that might be causing your video to be washed out, I’d check that.  But the video settings in ATI CC is what you want to be looking at.
