Preferred HDHomeRun drivers?

I am running a couple HDHomeRun devices on my Sage 7 - WinXP install. Sometime this summer I plan to rebuild the Sage Server with Windows 7.

My HDHR drivers are at least 1.5 years old but work perfectly. I have been afraid to upgrade the firmware simply because I doubt SiliconDust and Sage have done any mutual development work for awhile, but when I go to Win7, my only choice will be the latest software/drivers from Silicondust. I did not keep the install file for the older drivers.

Is this a problem? Will the latest drivers & firmware from 2013 still work okay for our Sage boxes?

FWIW and YMMV and all the other disclaimers that might be appropriate... I have been running both an HDHomeRun and an HDHomeRun Prime on Win 7 32 bit, keeping both software and firmware up to date (20130328 at the moment), with no problems. The Silicondust software has had no problems on both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. SageTV is running on a 32 bit system out of an abundance of caution on my part.

Thanks....for that same reason, I was going with Win7 32-bit as well. I want to make sure my old analog tuners work too.

First 2 servers in my sig are both using HDHR software that was current when I rebuilt (middle 1 Thanksgiving, and top one last 3 or 4 months???) and they are running fine on W7 64x.
