The download is very slow.
A big draw back to this is going to be the requirement of an HDCP compliant Video Card and Display.

Same here. Once I managed to GET it downloaded, it did not detect any of my receivers
edit - dang, just realized I might have to be using the ce to get on board with this. and I just missed the window!

One needs to have the latest CE software as the current NR on the receivers will not work with Directv2PC.

This is a great day that DirecTV and Cyberlink have partnered to bring us DirecTV2PC. DIRECTV: DIRECTV2PC
A couple things: You will need the latest Cutting Edge software release to use Directv2pc. If you don't have it, you can wait for the next national receiver update from Directv, which should be only days to a few weeks away, or you can check out our Cutting Edge forum for the next beta test release Friday.
Keep in mind you will need a high end computer and good graphics system to use Directv2pc. Think of what a blueray playback would require.
As a guideline, nothing more, your're probably looking at 2ghz cpu, 2gb ram, and good 512mb graphics processor. These are not specific, just my hope to give you a start as to whether this could work on your system.
As this is a beta test, I'd ask that actual discussion of the use of Directv2pc be in our CE forum, so DirecTV can review the issues and concerns.
Enjoy!

So the public will be getting software compatible with Directv2PC very soon, as it is up to the feedback from CE testers before D* pushes the software to everyone.

The link is only found by being a member of a few online forums. Try getting to the link through DirecTV's website. They are simply being cautious with their approach, as they were with DOD and continue to be with Media Share (still considered "beta").
