Can you use Vista Media Center for Media Share? I have a Linksys WGA600n connected to an HR21 and a WRT310n connected to my PC. I have tried WMP11 and TVersity on XP with very little success with Media Share. My VISTA PC works off and on with Media Share, but usually it locks up the HR21. VOD and everything else works great with the HR21-700 v255.

I talked to Intel CS about Viiv, but they were zero help. All I got from them is Viiv is built into the PC. My VISTA box has an Intel motherboard with Viiv capability, but the Viiv software that came with the board only works with XP. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you know Vista will run software in "XP mode"?
You may need to copy it over to the hard drive.
I've done this with several programs/setup drivers.
Right click on the setup.exe and go to the compatibility tab.
You will see where to "check" to run program in "windows XP".
I don't know if this will "fix" your problem, but...
