Title: Windows 7 Media Center
Post by: darin3000 on May 02, 2009, 07:09:51 AM: Does anyone have this working? I can connect the extender, but as soon as it connects, tv screen goes blue...I can hear audo, but no video. I have the latest Nvidia video drivers.

I'll post if I have success.

Post by: djloewen on May 04, 2009, 04:57:21 AM: I will also be testing this with the RC (tomorrow). DivX has just released a "tech preview" for Win7 32-bit that actually gets mkv files working on Extenders - it is confirmed to work with the XboX 360. I'm dying to try it on the 750 (labs.divx.com, in case anyone else is curious).

Post by: ECF on May 04, 2009, 09:15:43 AM: I played with Windows 7 and the DSM-750 as an extender and it seemed to work great just as it did with Vista. It just has a different interface but seems to work fine.

Post by: ECF on May 05, 2009, 01:37:22 PM: I was simply replying that it does work with Windows7 when I tested it out the other day. I am not offering support on a beta OS right now It worked for me with the basic setup just as in Vista. I do not yet know of the issues with Windows7 beta I don't really use it right now. Ill get back to this when Windows has worked out its issues and it is a supported OS.

Post by: Kittyburgers on May 27, 2009, 10:58:05 PM: The 750 works fine for me on Win7 x64. The interface has changed for the better. I have only used it for watching recorded TV from the media center, but at least this function seems to work fine. I haven't tried to play anything from my music library yet, but I will be testing that, as I had problems playing wav files with Vista Media Center. Perhaps Win 7 won't have this problem (I am hoping, but I'm also not holding my breath.)

Post by: rob_t on June 07, 2009, 05:29:36 PM: As a long time Linux fan and Windows hater, I have to say Windows 7 media center works pretty nicely. I put a Hauppage HDTV card in my windows test box and was watching off air HDTV on the extender.

An issue I noted was that my settings for 16:9 output and 5.1 sound in medialounge mode got trashed by the media center setup.

Based on everything I saw, I may need to change the OS running on my server when Windows 7 is released.

Post by: megamawax on September 28, 2009, 10:02:26 AM: I am having one issue with Windows 7 Media Center and my DSM-750 - every time I power on the DSM-750, it says it can't connect to my PC and prompts me to re-configure. Once it is configured, it works fine, until I have to power on again.
