Time Warner 4250HDC

[sub]

I still have a 4250HDC box and would like to use firewire for channel changing (only). Problem is my main nPVR box is 64 bit Vista. The documentation on tim moore's site says for 32 bit only. Does anyone know if this has changed or if there is a way to do it with a 64 bit system?

The last I read, I think tim moore's stuff is still 32 bit only.

grrr.... thanks, trying to move forward in one way is held back by moving forward in another.

why do so many people insist on using 64-bit windows when they only have 4gb or less of RAM? there's almost no benefit at all to it, and plenty of additional problems (yes, I know 32-bit windows can't even make use of the entire 4GB; however I don't consider the small benefit of that extra RAM worth the downsides of 64-bit). There's really only a couple of cases where there's any real benefit to 64-bit windows on desktop machines: you have more than 4GB of RAM and actually do make use of it, high-end gaming rigs, cad/graphics workstations. Out of the hundred or so computers I've delivered since 64-bit windows has become available, I can think of only 3 running 64-bit: 1 gaming rig, 2 cad workstations.

the nice thing is that the same product key works for both 32-bit and 64-bit installs. you just have to get your hands on the 32-bit media to switch.

This rig is over 2 years old and at that time, I had no idea what the future would hold. It could just as easily have been that 64 bit would be the new necessity for some new technology. Respectfully, hind site is 20-20
