is it best w/old tower PC from COMPAQ...does it work for al media streaming and consistent when TWC sells out to Comcast in KY @ end of 2014?

It works well for my media streaming via YouTube and all other online streaming I have done. You'll have to confer with Comcast regarding usability with their network.

I highly doubt the sell out will effect any internet except their new opportunity to jack our rates and less competition to go to. (nothing to do with the modem, just my personal rant) It should work fine with your PC.

No!, please do not buy this mini pc for media streaming, or watch movies here is why:1. The video card is an old intel model, and they doesn't provide drivers for hardware aceleration, so videos won't play smooth, neither in windows or linux enviroments.2. This box lacks of hdmi, dvi ports for pure digital high resolution screens.You should look for a zotac mini pc, these boxes have better hardware and suppprt for what you're looking for.

I don't know about comcast. I am with TWC, Cg3000d is not in their list as well, only CG3000Dv2. However, I can use Cg3000d to get online with TWC, in Chapel Hill. I think CG3000Dv2 is second version of Cg3000d, but still works very well for my case. May be some comcast users can give you a confirm answer.

Not sure I understand question , however, I got cable modem from Adams Cable equipment and their customer service was awesome, the tech answered all my questions and assured me that the one I ordered would work. It actually is the same one TWc provided... Once you get the new modem you call TWC and they reset your specs and then you return the TWC modem back to them. No more monthly modem rental fees!

I've not had any problems at all with steaming or with using other devices. This is the same device that Time Warner uses for their WiFi customers, that alone should tell you how well it works. I've been used this device through Time Warner for 2 yrs then I finally and purchased my own exact model since it performed to well and I'm glad that I did. If you aren't good with wireless networking, then just youtube your issues or google the forums needed to answer your questions.

I have been using it with my HP desktop since I received it. It has worked without a glitch. Strangely when I used the desktop with the Ethernet cable I would sometimes lose internet service.

In practice, it works as well. I have been using a Vixia HV40 to stream church services, and I'm about to get another card to hook up a computer as well.

It's a dang fine mobo all the way around. Streaming will of course depend on your ISP's abilities.

Yes. I have them on the same Ethernet hub. I have another machine which I use periodically to view over WiFi, and it works decently, but I'm glad to have my main WMC machine / DVR talking right to it over wired connection. I'm on Comcast and they recently eliminated their unencrypted digital & analog signals, so I had to either get a Comcast set top box, or a CableCard enabled device like this one.

Building a Full Tower PC will this work on a Desk Top? Sorry I am a Newbie! If I use this card what antennae can/ should be used with Tyco Wifi & Bluetooth Antenna and why would I need a Half to Full Height Mini PCI Express(PCI-E) Card Bracket Adapter?Thanks in advance!!

Although a Time Warner Cable rep assured me this would work for my bundled internet and phone, they said it cannot be used for phone and I would have to keep the TWC issued modem. However, at least I am no longer paying the modem rental fee which was the objective (but illogical to me). As for internet performance, over 50MBs hardwired or wi-fi. Most excellent!

I couldn't get the tower to work properly from home. It worked just fine at Data Doctors and with their monitor and their printer. I sent it back to Amazon because after many different tries Data Doctors couldn't get it to work from my home. My monitor at home would show the start screen but that's all. I couldn't connect to the internet from my home. I didn't try my printer because my HP printer was not compatible with Windows 8. I hope this helps.

I have HP touchsmart TM2 notebook with Intel Core(TM) i3 CPU, 1.20 Ghz processor and 4.00 GB RAM and Widows 7. As a tech support I hope you can answer if Warpia StreamHD wireless will work with my PC streaming 1080p? The system requirements call for Intel Core Duo 2,4Ghz processor so, I wonder will my notebook be able to stream HD video to my HDTV? And if not 1080P how about 720p? My main concern is that I will have frequent frozen pictures on TV screen. Please respond

Joshua--I live in the Minneapolis area and just set up an HTPC with OTA through the Hauppauge 2250 card. Now I'm considering trying to get cable through Comcast, but I can't get a straight answer from them about whether it will work and what the charges are. Obviously you've got it working in this area. I'd love to hear more about your experiences after a year and any advice you might have. My specific questions, if you have the answer:1) Can can you have ONLY a Cablecard? I don't want to have (or pay for) a set top box at all.2) Are there any charges associated with the card? Do you have to pay the HD fee or is that just for set top boxes?If you happen to see this and have any insight, much thanks!

Displaying a single video steam is pretty resource-cheap on current (within the last 5 years) hardware.It really depends on what you want to do - is the Dell going to be a full-blown Windows Media Center or will you just watch shows via the HDHomeRun apps? Will you be using wired or wireless networking? IF wireless, is your access point DLNA-compatible (required)?FWIW, I'm able to use a 64GB Surface Pro and an Asus 202e to watch shows & videos just fine.

I do use it to steam to ustream 24/7. However i am a mac user so cannot comment about compatability with that non mac platform

Like Ian, I, too, have Time Warner, but I will pass on my experience because it might help. I called TW and they actually gave me a list of compatible modems before I bought anything, and this one was one of them. But when I purchased it and the tech came to install it, I was told that TW doesn't allow customers with digital phone to have their own modem. So who do you believe--the customer service rep or the installer? Anyway, the modem is sitting in my supply closet, never used. And I can't imagine any cable company with worse customer service than TW. :)
