I like Windows 7 enough that I wouldn't mind updating my HTPC's Window's XP ...but I'm worried about any HDMI issues that may come up. I heard Window's 7 has more restrictions. I use my HTPC as a blu-ray player so any issues with HDMI including 7.1 master audio would be a deal breaker for me. Also my HTPC goes through a receiver which I'm not sure how Window's 7 would treat the receiver. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/xonar-13-issues#post-26 Mon, 25 May 2009 18:29:04 +0000 mrHTN 26@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I just got my Xonar card installed. Everything was working fine for a couple days with bitstreaming working and DTS-HD MA showing up on my receiver. However, now I just get a black screen when my HTPC starts up. I’m guessing it some BS HDCP handshacking issue with my HTPC and the receiver, but was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. I have a Denon 3808 receiver and a Win XP HTPC with a Nvidea 8800 GTS video card.</p> <p>The black screen starts after the Win XP opening logo. I don’t get why it worked for a couple days (with multiple reboots), and now won’t work at all. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/connecting-htpc-to-a-hdtv#post-16 Mon, 18 May 2009 01:18:13 +0000 mrHTN 16@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I’m curious if people are still having problems connecting HTPCs (or laptops) to their HDTV. I have a DLP which is about 3 years old now, and I had trouble at first connecting it to my HTPC. There were big overscan issues and the drivers for the video card were misbehaving. Eventually I got it to work using the component connection and setting up the video card settings to a resolution of 1152 x 648 pixels. I wasn’t getting full 720p resolution, but it worked so I was happy.<br /> The video card drivers now come with HDTV settings so I set it up to 720p and have no issues. The VGA ports on most new HDTVs should also make things easier. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/htpc-blu-ray-software#post-3 Mon, 04 May 2009 21:58:36 +0000 matto 3@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>Woot! I’m one of the first. … I’m looking for the best blu-ray software for an HTPC. I narrowed it down to PowerDVD and Total Home media. Anybody have problems with either of them? </p>
