If we go down to our local store today and buy a state of the art PC, take it home, unpack it, set it up, turn it on and finally configure it ready for use what do we find? It's quickly becoming obsolete because something newer is already on the way. A lot of us fuel this because we always want something better. in fact more of everything except cheaper! The rate of development is awesome. We're all aware that the hardware developers and manufacturers are always striving to make things faster, smaller, cooler, more stable, more efficient, etc, etc.
#Media center os drivers#
)Īlso, this is a double-edged sword: people complain about "OS bloat", others (and, sometimes, the same people) complain about legacy apps and hardware no longer working in a new OS (especially when that new OS rides on a completely new kernel.) This, more than anything, is what gave Vista its (IMHO, undeserved) bad rep.Īs a general comment about hardware compatibility and drivers I guess I'm about to jump in here in support of MS and lay a large part of the blame on the hardware vendors themselves. MS writes the requirements, and provides a development kit however, it's up to the manufacturers to follow thru. That said, even you admit that it's up to the hardware manufacturers - not Microsoft - to continue to support their hardware.
#Media center os driver#
How do you mean? Hardware requirements for analog tuners haven't changed since Media Center 2005 was released however, the driver model for NT6 (Vista/Win7) is not the same as it was for NT5 (Win2k/XP), which is different still for MCE2k5. I do feel the need to take issue with this, though: The M780 was even properly recognized as a combo tuner, and tunes Clear-QAM (unencrypted digital cable) without any trickery. :)įWIW, I have a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1250, as well as an Avermedia M780, working in Win7 - no pain involved in getting them working either - drivers installed via Windows Update. If you post info, we may be able to help. There is, after all, a significant difference. if it worked in Vista's Media Center or, if it worked in a third-party TV/PVR app under Vista. )įrankly, your earlier post in this thread (from 2/19 I missed your first post here) looked like random thoughts, rather than an actual problem, especially since you didn't state:
The mechanism to deal with bug reports can handle it. The public beta of Win7 (build 7000) was initially planned to be 2.5 million people.
