I haven't been following this thread very closely - I've read the last 5-10 pages or so, but couldn't bring myself to read all 155 pages, so sorry if this has already been discussed:

I'm having a few issues with my i3 haswell nuc (win8.1, xbmc + wmc, 2x2gb ram, 120gb ssd, NUC -> Denon 3312 AVR -> Panny plasma connected by HDMI):
1) In XBMC, when I try to do DTS-HD passthrough via HDMI (mkv file), the movie stutters like crazy - completely unwatchable. I followed suggestions on another thread and uninstalled Realtek driver but that didn't help. Plays fine if I select "analog" for the audio output. Is there a significant downside to doing analog vs HDMI?
2) My Harmony 800 remote does everything as expected, EXCEPT powering on/off. It doesn't seem to do anything.
3) I have windows go to sleep after 30min of inactivity. Sometimes when I turn back the TV & AVR back on, I just get a "no signal" message. Wiggling the mice, tapping on the keyboard, etc doesn't seem to do anything. I have to turn the NUC off and on again (with the physical button on the NUC) to fix this.


Any suggestions on any of the above? Thanks!
