Put the card in and restart the PC. Windows autodetects the card and prompts for drivers. Cancel the driver installation. Download the drivers from Broadcom and run the setup. Your Crystal HD should now appear in Device manager under Sound, Video and Game controllers. Download and install a recent OpenGL build and that's it.

Note that you need .Net installed for the driver install to work. I don't know which version because I installed the lot.

Got my Revo 3610 last friday from Ebay, shipped from Taiwan, #1 service and I must say I love this little thing so far. I've been playing with it all week-end and it's set up quite nicely.

Running XBMC with alaska skin on Win 7 ultimate 64bits and it looks amazing.

Now I'm just waiting on my bluetooth usb dongle to set up my PS3 BD remote and my crystal hd card (both ordered from ebay).

Do you get flawless 1080p playback?

I do :-)

There were initial reports of difficulties with a few videos depending on how they were encoded. I don't know the current status.
