Nice post Nigel! Quite timely since I am just reinstalling all of my Home PC's with Win 7!

I have the Hauppauge MCE Remote Control Kit, with a grey remote, and it works fine in Windows 7, although I haven't tried it with media center.

I have an identical setup. I also have purchased a Linksys media extender, which is now only useful for photos and music. If only it would do DVB-T HD TV, it would be perfect.

I'll have to look at the Xbox, but worried about wife-firendliness and noise from the fan.

@Mike XBOX works well for wife-friendliness if you use a remote as oposed to the xbox controller. In fact your Linksys extender remote will work just fine with it.

Fan is a bit noisy mind you and there is little you can do about this.

I'm trying to set up a line in audio from a cable audio output. I want my PC's audio to be the output. However, Win 7 will not let the signal pass through, XP will. Any sugestions.

Strange I take line in audio into Win 7 via the 3.5mm audio plug on the HVR2200 card and it works fine... I haven't tried plugging into a "line in" on the sound card of the PC.
