Version history:
Rollup 2 View entire changelog Support for Windows Media Center Extender for Xbox 360 The Windows Media Center Extender technology built into every Xbox 360 lets you access entertainment from your Media Center PC—whether it’s live and recorded TV and movies, music, photos or Online Spotlight—on any TV in the house. Xbox 360 Support for 4 tuners You can now have a combined 4 TV tuners on a Media Center PC. Media Center will now support 2 NTSC Standard tuners and 2 ATSC HD TV Tuners. DVD changer support Media Center now offers integrated support for external DVD changers, enabling consumers to watch movies and manage external 200 disc DVD changers from the Media Center interface. Media Center displays rich movie information and cover art for each movie loaded in the DVD changer. (DVD changer support is available on select new Media Center PCs.) Away Mode Away Mode brings the convenience, quiet performance and instant on/off functionality of consumer electronics to the Media Center PC. Away Mode improves upon current PC power-management systems by enabling the system to silently perform unattended tasks, such as record TV shows and stream content to Media Center Extenders, while in a low-power mode that appears off. (Away Mode is available on select new Media Center PCs.) DVD-burning improvements Updates to the Sonic DVD burning engine improve the performance and capabilities of DVD burning in Media Center. Now consumers can convert high-definition TV shows to standard definition and burn to a DVD all in one step, as well as burn to a DVD from other locations on the network such as from a Media Center Extender device. Additional HDTV tuner support Update Rollup 2 provides support for up to four TV tuners. US customers will now be able to utilize two NTSC (analog) capture boards and two ATSC (digital) capture boards. This enables personal video recording of two shows at the same time, broadcast as either ATSC digital TV (480p) or high-definition TV (720p/1080i). Guides and How to's:

HAving just really brushed up against it, I cant comment in depth. However from what I see it appears to be just a large interface thats viewable from 10 feet. Download myhtpc (free) and get the same experience. You dont get the free (2) games with that, but on my admittedly brief, encounter it has all the same functionality.. without the permitted hardware driver list that MCE insists on. This really needs to add a lot more before they can start charging bucks for it.. Its just a very readable interface tying together a music player, photo slideshow and movie player and tv recorder/watcher. I'm sure many people coulf write something in vis bas that would tie their existing programs together. And of course the music player is wmp9. OK if you get it for free but certainly 3 to 4 versions away from being good...it will never be great because MS is to beholden to DRM.

This update seems to be causing a lot of problems. See www.thegreenbutton.com/community under General Discussion. When I installed it, I could not get Media Center 2005 to run in maximized mode. It would only run minimized. I created another profile and it ran OK in that. I had to restore my system to just before the update to get Media Center to run full-screen again with my original profile. Other people seem to be having various other types of problems with this update.
