Hi all - having 'lurked' and digested info on here for a few weeks now (actually been on and off for years!) I went ahead and bought from eBuyer a:
I have many years experience of building my own PC's and every version of Windows since 3.0 and this went together very easily (as in you just connect everything up via USB!). First thing to go was Linpus and installed a clean and legit copy of Windows 7 Pro. Activated it and it picked up all the R6310 hardware with the latest drivers downloaded from the web on 21/6/10.
First problem I noticed was no sound via HDMI to a new Phillips 26" TV (don't know the model right now sorry) in my hotel room where I am based weekdays. The Revo appears to be outputting sound, nothing in Device Manager to say that their is a hardware problem, just no sound from the TV. No sound from the headphone socket either. No settings on the TV other than obvious ones ie selecting Source.
Next problem is with the Hauppage Tuner, again installed ok with drivers downloaded from the web and the supplied CD. Appears to be functioning but cannot pick up any channels at all via the mini aerials in dual mode or diversity mode. I would have thought it would at least pick up something even if poor quality?
Mods - please feel free to move this to the Revo thread (I have read all posts on both threads), however I think this is not a Revo problem and probably my ignorance of MCE
EDITED to UPDATE: Tuner does work - managed to hook it into hotel aerial (don't ask...)
Presumably the little aerials supplied aren't up to much in the way of reception due their size? I am in Northampton so not sure where the mast is? Sound still not working though.
