That's an interesting idea. So you'd record from over the air then? I guess in 480i?

I have it set to record at 1080i for OTA broadcasts, I think it compresses it to a standard format w/in MS weird format container (I know it does since I can rename the filename and any media player will play the recordings). I think I remember seeing a settings menu where you can adjust the quality of the recordings to in order to maximize space or video quality if desired.

Wow, RF wizardry! Now your separate connector makes sense to me, I forget sometimes how complicated antennas actually can be despite their simple looks! I had no idea that some of the tuner cards are based on PCI-e and others USB, but it makes sense that they'd just pull the USB hardware to the mPCI-e form factor for a clean internal install. I'm certainly glad you had a true mPCI-e card on hand to test!

The mPCIe slot in general is spec'd for both USB and PCI.

See here (scroll to bottom of page): Mini PCI Express Bus Description; MiniCard Interface for the Laptop PC

D+ and D- are USB while PETp0, PETn0, PERp0 and PERn0 are PCI lane. HP in their "efficient" wisdom, spec'd the mPCIe where the TV Tuner is to omit the 4 PCI connections.

I think there's something more than just F.41 ==> nVidia 26x.xx working because all I had were crashes, even on clean install. Kindheart, 2.0, was there a SP1 contingency?

Possibly. Did the test using SP1.

W7 SP1 RTM was compiled on 11-19-2010 and F.41 BIOS is dated 11-22-2010. Can't tell more.

Curious observation,

266.58 driver, idle temps are much higher and the fan doesn't run at idle. Turns on at 63DegC and cuts off at 60DegC.

But brightness works better than the 197.45 driver.

Acronis-ed back to 197.45 and fan again works at idle.

wow brighter. i wonder how performance is. sounds like the new driver might be a winner, except for the fan not kicking in til higher temp?

Runs too hot though. I call nixie. But whomever else wants to give it a go, by all means then. I'm back to the 197.45 until I can find a better driver.

hey i get rep points but my rep power stays the same??? trying to get a perfect 10

Awesome thanks, but what part of that sequence refers only to the exact type of battery? I don't think I'll need 10 of these things, 2-3, or at most 5 would be good enough I'd think. Thanks. I gave you rep, but it won't let me give more for a while till I spread it around first.

Nice thanks. Lol oddly enough no I'm not kidding you .. Wow. What the heck have I been looking at..?? I'm not familiar with these kinds of batteries for anything. Never used them before so I didn't know if that was a number related to their stock/inventory or the type of battery. I just figured the 3V was universal, but there are several types of them apparently. The price is right for me though, thanks. Lol.

PS: Anyone suggest one company over another? Energizer, Panasonic etc?
