![]() I plugged in my WinTV 950Q USB tuner, and started the 7MC setup, telling it yes I am in USA (not really, ATSC + Canada still not supported in 7MC, WTF?), and here's my zipcode (nearby US town) as per my Vista MC setup. Once Windows was installed and stable, I dove into setting up Media Center (7MC). Everything then seemed to install correctly (I have to find out if 'FirstGate' on the NIC is worth activating). For some reason, when I load up the supplied drivers disk, it doesn't seem to want to install anything, so I went into the drivers folder on the disk, and started the setup from there.

It comes in a small box, well packed, with its external power supply (smaller than most laptops), HDMI->DVI adapter, and a non-slip pad, which I recommend using since the unit is so small and light and has no rubber 'feet', its possible that ejecting a disk could cause it to recoil. Here's a pretty good review that covers all the basics. In terms of size, its about the size of 2 Wii's stacked. Its a little lacking in styling, but very small, clean, and shiny.
