The BDA drivers work Ok for me on Vista business, so I'd imagine they will work fine in Ultimate.

Yes the BDA drivers work ok on Vista Ultimate but Vista does make it difficult. I had to install and uninstall several times.

I have them working with DVBViewer and Progdvb but having difficulty with some of my preferred progs like Altdvb.

You have Vista and XP on dual-boot, or some other combination?

Is Vista happy with that? What dual-boot system are you using? Microsoft's?

I've got two XP systems on dual-boot, but I'm thinking of migrating one to Vista.

Tbh, its more of a triple boot, I installed XP on one drive, removed the drive, installed Vista on another drive, then I plugged both the drives back in and proceeded to install Suse Linux on a third drive, Suse set up the booting and whatnot automatically
