currently use vista MCE with 2 HVR-1600 cards
2.2Ghz dual core
3Gig ram
8900gts OC video card
I want to switch to GBPVR because I hear it is more stable then MCE.
Vista MCE works for me like 80% of the time. I use QAM tuning for local HD and I am hoping to have a setup that is wife approved also "easy to use"
My main questions and concerns are:
Should I use XP or vista
{XP may free up more system resources} {if it runs good on vista i could avoid reformatting}
Will my HVR-1600's work well and do QAM locals?
also can I set them up as 2SD tuners and 2HD QAM's or will it just see them as 2 tuners?
How do you get guide information?
I have been looking at the skins and the sassari one looks cool anyone using it successfully?
Basically I'm just wanting to get some updated first hand experiences from longtime users. We use the media center as our only PVR and down time would be a big no no
Thanx in advance for the help
