Here is my list:
[COLOR="DarkRed"]

• Operating System XP Pro SP2
  Back to SP2 from SP3 because seems more stable. Now installed XP PRO English + MUI to set it to Italian language. Updates performed by autopatcher (I have 6 PC’s to manage: work + wife + home).
  
• Video card used ATI Radeon X300
  
• Analogue or digital tuner? Both
  Three HVR-1300 cards installed. Using both tuners DVB-T and Analog but most of recording are done on DVB-T.
  
• Video renderer VMR9
  
• Video decoder ffdshow
  
• Audio decoder ffdshow
  
• MPEG2 Demultiplexor ELECARD
  Playing my old garbled analog recordings it revealed more stable than the default Microsoft one.
  
• DVD decoder Cyberlink
  Included in K-Lite Codec Pack 2.84 Full (codec comes from Power DVD 7)
  
• Codec pack K-Lite Codec Pack 2.84 Full
  I tested also v. 4.0 but I have found no relevant improvements
  
• Multiplexor ATI (or alternatively THMpgMux)
  
• DivX / XviD decoder ffdshow
  
• Using PVRX2 on CRT or LCD/plasma? CRT
  
• Display connection S-Video
  
• Remote MCE 2005
  
• Extensions 2xMedia MVP
  
• MVP Dongle 2006-07-20
  
• Dongle uploader TFTPD32
  I preferred to manage dongles by tftpd32 because it offers more stability and continuity (GBPVR sometime lacks). Note: I have two separtated networks: one (powerline) for MVP's, the second (WiFi) to access to internet.
