Software issues anyone??? I run Vista Ult64 and this is my first attempt at making my PC a HTPC. I have waited a long time to have component inputs into my PC and hoped this would be the answer... I have my PC set up to run DVDs and streamed content to a projector but the Cable Capture/ Display using the PC as a DVR is what I have been waiting for. I can't believe there isn't a PCIe card that does this yet! Why an external device? OK the software... WTF is vista 64 not supported??? I can capture great. So I have a huge .ts file and nothing I can do with it but watch it. The included software is supposed to be able to convert to PS3 or iPOD friendly formats but fails every time. After putting my Dual core AMD at 100 percent for over 2 days! The IR blaster app comes up blank with 2 broken images I imagine should be buttons.Total media theatre won't even load. the WinTV Won't load "Unable to initilize DLL" I haven't tried Sage but I hope it helps because as of now I have a $250 component input and that's about it.
Microsoft really botched 64-bit. Vista should have been a universal installer with 64-bit optimizations built into it under the covers just like MacOS X does.
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”

Thats what you get when you have 64bit and just assume that it works on 64bit.
