I use Windows 7 and Windows Media Center. I have purchased a new SSD and made a clean reinstallation of the OS to try to fix some repeated hangups. Everything fine so far except WMC reports no tuner available when asked to play or record an HD broadcast on Freeview DVB-T. My dual tuner card is definitely working as it is still good with the old OS installation. I can also watch HD channels with the new OS installation using different viewing software.
