Regarding reception issues I posed a question at my other forum where we talkabout usage of the MyHD MDP-130(our favourite OTA
ATSC pc card) so this may be of interest to others using PCs for HD viewing. I wanted to know who else was using W2kPro as a preference over XP and this is one of the responses I received :

" I still run Win2kPro due to paranoia about Broadcast Flags, CPRM, and other content restriction methods. (I used Win98 until I discovered how much better 2k handles disk I/O) With a My-HD, two Hauppauge cards and a Hollywood Plus in the box, there should never be any reason to upgrade this PC. I might need something new for h264 playback or Component capture, but this one does everything else perfectly. (Analog TV, ATSC, Clear QAM, S-Video and Composite capture)
