    Are you running a 64bit OS? My KWorld PE-355-2T works fine under 32bit, but not 64bit:

    I use 64bit OS with no issues. I also use the media centre and I think its awesome, just that little bit more refined than Vista MC.

    I use media center - it works very well. But as said, you can use other things if you want to (I just never got on well with mediaportal personally).

    Yeah, I don't really have a need to use anything other than Media Center - it does all I need (except atm when half the chanels don't work ).

    Hopefully this Hauppage dual tuner thingy will sort it - the thing I have now is some eBay jobbie usb thing - SEAL or something?! lol

    I see you have a KWorld PC160-2T as well! Have you managed to get the remote working with MediaPortal or anything except MCE or the software that comes with it under W7 x64? I can't find anything that works with it. Tried IRSS, Girder, HIP etc. No go.
