Hi, I am thinking about getting a new PC and it will most likely come with Vista. I watch a lot of tv streaming to the PC. I do this succesfully with Win XP. As anyone done this succsesfully with Vista 64/32bit? Also I make the odd recording on the dreambox ftp the ts file onto the PC and it plays fine on vlc. I tried this on a friends laptop with vista and it didnt play properly. I could hear the sound but no picture was visible. Is Vista blocking the viewing of the ts file? Thanks, Stvy | ||

| Try to play the *.ts files with Nero Showtime (Nero DVD and media files Player). It works great with XP Pro. Sorry I can't answer about Vista, but it is possible that VLC is not supporting Vista well. (If you or your friend don't have Nero, there is a 15 days evaluation).  | ||

My System: Dreambox 7000S + motorised 80cm dish, Amstrad DRX550 Digibox + fixed dish | I am using VLC media player 0.8.6c to watch streams from my Dreambox over a WLAN and it seems to work just fine with Windows Vista 32 bit. When Vista first came out, VLC had a few problems but these seem to have been cured. I haven't tried recording with VLC though. | ||
