Current version of TVSource does not work with American digital streaming standards. We are planning to make it but already after initial v2 release. Sorry for bad news."]]>Jan 15th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/windows-media-center-gets-networked-tuners-via-dvblink/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/windows-media-center-gets-networked-tuners-via-dvblink/Jan 14th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/windows-media-center-gets-networked-tuners-via-dvblink/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/windows-media-center-gets-networked-tuners-via-dvblink/
1) On a relatively poweful machine with a fast boot drive and either a big second HD or an even larger RAID array
2) Install Microsoft's free HyperV hypervisor
3) Create a VM and install WHS on it, using the big drive as its storage pool
4) Create a VM and install Win7 Home Premium, using the big drive as its Recorded TV folder
5) Add tuners as required, either inside the box, attached to the box, or on the network
6) Enjoy the same box being your MC and WHS with tons of storage for ripped DVD/BD's, recorded TV, etc.
7) Use extenders (360's) to enable multi-room. You could even have this uber-box in the closet headless.

Would this work like I think/hope it would?

This guy runs WHS under HyperV... all he has to do now is add MC :)
