Windows 7 Media Center
« 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'm going to try Windows 7 again next week with the release candidate. 

I'll post if I have success.

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).

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.

Lousy answer....its a forum where issues supposed to be resolved.  To say you have no problems is a useless response.

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.

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.)

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.

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.
