So, there is no solution for the AVerTV Combo in Windows MCE 2005? Some of us do not want to "upgrade" to Vista, yet.

What I personally meant is that it is a better option then the AVerMedia at this point (look through the thread, beta means beta. I think one person has it working).

I wouldn't say it's a better option. It's certainly another viable option. For QAM and/or ATSC, a network tuner can have a much needed place in a connected home --- even in the long run following MS's connected vision (or lack there of).

I would also agree that the HDHR is a better option now, but getting QAM support in other cards is a much better option in the long run.

The HDHomerun has been doing this for a while now. It's a little tricky to configure at first, but it's rock solid once it's up and running. It's also a network appliance so it doesn't take up any space in your computer.

That's terrific news! It's a shame Microsoft is seemingly asleep at the switch with this (I know that there is a difference in the requisite effort between a vendor-specific beta plugin and the full-fledged, generic, supported implementation that MS would have to produce). OCUR doesn't cut it since my machine is self-built.
