Have you had trouble with Windows 7

You must be joking, try telling that to 'Er indoors.

Second that ... I live with a SKY+ addict

We got rid of Sky, we could not justify the cost. I am not all that keen on so called sport these days, too much money involved. We don't fancy paying for all those Sky films, there are plent available on Virgin. We have Virgin, Freesat and Freeview. The Virging XL package costs us just £2 per month as a special offer to woo us back off Sky.

No I'am not, we are actually building Media Center PC's at work and offering them for sale. They are flying out the door. All come with windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional and are built for the job of all in one plus media center.

One PC in my little office upstairs is quite sufficient.

Your powers of prognostication simply amaze me. Perhaps you would be willing to answer a few more questions that the rest of the world is dying to know the answers to.

1. What will really happen in December 2012?

2. Date of First Contact?

3. The price of gold in 6 months?

4. Will the Hadron collider ever work?

5. The start date the next English Composition and Grammar course in your Area?

I am not using Internet Video, as I couldn't bear to sign another license agreement.

I'm using an external tuner that connects to my cable and inputs digital video via a USB port. It looks like this:



I am only using the old U.S. analog (low resolution) video to reduce the workload. U.S. HD would surely take 120% of my CPU to run

Even with the low resolution, the picture is grainy when positioned to take only about 1/10 th of my display.

I was pleased that WMC had DVD burn capability, so I didn't need Nero or other.

I believe you. I used to work for TI DLP and it was surprising the resistance to change I saw, both from people and companies. For example, years ago the large company that starts with a K, didn't believe digital video would ever displace their film (particularly in movies).

I can see that a computer is necessary to sort out a hundred channels of mostly junk TV, so you can quickly find the best show at the moment.

BTW, for some reason here in the USA they switch the programs (day and time) around every couple of months in an effort to find the sweet time slot. It drives me nuts.

The 5th option would be great!

I had a prob like that too, however on the disk that came with my motherboard I was able to find the right driver to install on my harddrive to enable windows 7 to detect the harddrive where I wanted to install the os, you have to be pretty spacific as to where it is, ms-dos won't pick it up if you just search for the driver, most places recommend installing the driver on a flash drive or a floppy, but I was able to do it right off the cd by being specific
