Pass. I don't think it does explicitly.

I know MP rlies on things like EVR on Vista a lot, but as far as the details are concerned it's a bit beyond me

Err Funkstar, it does look like zero PCI slots on that thing. You gonna add many USB tuners for your media center machine built around that?

Tuners are all PCI/PCIe in the TVServer. These would be remote frontends only. They don't need tuners. As much as people argue over MCE and MP, this is the killer reason to use MP in my eyes.

or try XBMC, u can use either windows or linux, and the latter supports offloading HD decode to the GPU, one of ION's strengths. Did look at the revo but the single core atom put me off

Does XBMC have a TV component and TV server? Because without them it's useless for me.
