2010 is starting out nicely.

I finally got my ATI DCT setup working properly with Windows Media Center, today.  It only took the technicians five trips to my condo, four CableCARDs, two Cisco STA1520 tuning adapters, and tons of eMails and phone calls with Time Warner Cable (they were, of course, very helpful!).

So, now I can tune and record all HD and premium channels (including SDV ones) on my Windows 7 box.  Unfortunately, most of the channels have the broadcast flag set, so the recorded WTV files are pretty useless.

The guide isn't half bad, but the whole thing is pretty laggy.  Maybe I'll shuffle around PC parts when I pick up a Core i9, if Intel ever releases it.
