Yes. WMC7. I dont really know what advantages there would be / are of installing a second media software package... My other PC's around the home ( all 6 of them ) use the same to watch recorded TV from the main living room media centre ( which is now the RL-70 ), so would mean adding that software to all those too. Currently WMC7 does what we need out of the box. Inc the pictures and music too, and with the Catchup TV plugin.
The 290e installed all by itself on the revo, no issues, no software no manual searches for the device driver. What I didnt meation was the remote that is supplied doest come with batteries either... which is no big deal, as I dont need it anyway, will be using the WMC7 Remotes, which work fine anway, but another dissapointment.
This below is not relevant to the RL70, but a heads up on the 290e.
What I did also do as a test, is install the 290e on the media pc I already was using prior to the revo. This is a nice PC, with what had a PinnaclePCTV 310i Hybrid Pro PCI card. This is running W7 professional 32 bit. I removed the card and installed the 290e.
I had to manually search ( find via internet search ) for the device driver for the 290e., which isnt a problem, but a surprise, as the RL70 on W7 64 bit home edition, found it no problem without intervention. Later, In WMC7, it also although DID detect the tuner device but in the pre-channel search, didnt detect any tv signal, which was odd, but if you skip this process and continue anyway, it still found all the channels, inc the HD ones. So some sort of wierd hicup there I think.
Other than that, very happy with the Revo so far. Still not happy with he pin adapter on the usb. Even if the cable is tied with slack to the device, it still looks like its "leaning" on the pin. I guess its just has to be that way, but it doesnt look all that secure and tight.
I guess a dual tuner option would really make this all worth while. However for the money, if these come down a little, could a second be fitted?
