Thanks, cewright!! I folowed your sage advice and now I can actually watch Blu Ray movies. My issue now is that when using Media Direct I cannot view the movie in full screen mode. I can stretch the minimized window to its' limits and the image plays fine. When in full screen I just get a solid block...

I am interested in a Studio Hybrid for under my TV due to its size and design. I have looked at the documentation for it and can see there are two Mini-PCI slots - one for the WiFi card and one for the Blueray accelerator card. I would like to use this for recording Digital (and Analogue whilst it is...

Here's how I finally got it to work on XP: 1. Install the recommended driver for Vista from the Dell site: http://ftp.us.dell.com/utility/R183806.exe 2. Install the MediaButtons v5.0.0.1t4 app for Vista from the Dell site: http://ftp.us.dell.com/utility/R202956.exe 3.
BEFORE rebooting, set the DELLODDSvr...

I have been researching getting a Studio Hybrid to use as a media hub. I'll be hooking it up to a 1080 HDTV. My main concern is making sure that I can play back Blu-Ray movies at the same quality as a set top Blu-Ray player. I do not want to have to buy both of those(player and pc). Also, does the...

In case you haven't already ordered the memory, don't bother... it won't operate at 800mhz. In fact neither does the processor. I spoke with level 2 dell tech support today and they informed me that even though the motherboard, processor and memory are all able to operate at 800mhz Dell limits...

Everyone be aware!!! I spoke to a level 2 & 3 tech support agent today at Dell who informed me that Dell has capped the fsb speed at 667Mhz. So no matter what processor or memory you upgrade to you will only get 667Mhz. I expereinced this first hand with my Studio Hybrid. I paid extra for the 2.5Ghz...

Okay, so I had a tech come by my house and he replaced the optical drive and front I/O panel, and guess what? ...still having the same problem! It turns out that this is a known issue for the studio hybrids that were manufactured before August of 2008 . So the tech went ahead and ordered to replace the...

Interesting fact I found out. I have been updating the video driver for the Intel graphics and noticed how the Windows Experience score was 3.1. This just barely makes the Vista Aero requirements. I think the cut off is 3.0. It was interesting because some others have reported 3.5 or better with slower...

I'm having major problems connecting several Dell Studio Hybrids to Panasonic Plasmas via HDMI. I set the resolution to 1280x720 or 1920x1080 but whenever I restart the box no image appears on the plasma. The only solution I've discovered is - connect the hybrid to a DVI monitor and change the...
