* Avoid 'Program Files' - Due to the way Windows handles applications installed to the 'Program Files' and 'Program Files (x86)' directories it's best to install outside of them. The easiest place to use would be the root of a hard drive (c:\amarec or d:\amarec are two commonly used places).

* Run As Admin - For Vista/Win7/Win8, make sure to run AmarecTv with Administrator rights to avoid random crashes. Right click on amarec.exe, then click properties on the context menu. When the next window appears, click on the compatibility tab. Near the bottom you'll see a checkbox option to run as administrator. Click the checkbox to enable it, then click OK to save the changes.

* Install/Record to secondary hard drive - Running AmarecTv and recording to a secondary hard drive that Windows is not installed to will help avoid the OS from interfering with the recording process (which can lead to dropped frames and AV desync).
