Vista TV Media Center
Can you answer this question? At the moment the file you have linked to only installs a standalone program that receives HD tv content.
can you receive the HD content in windows media center with the program that you are providing?
if the answer is yes then please publish a guide to it in this thread rather than asking everyone to email you.
Thanks Mike
Cheers Doug
I have used their program on a test box and it seems fine as a standalone package and I do have to say it is the first one that I have managed to get working here in NZ with Freeview HD with out any messing about.
Will see where this thread takes us all....

Were you able to get moon player to do h.264? I was not. It detects only 1 of my avermedia m780 pci-e tuner cards, I have 2 installed. (I am using beta drivers for qam tuning). Nothing was displayed, and the program indicated that my feed was analog? It did not detect or display anything from my hd-pvr, and it did not play any of the h.264 files I have ripped with hd-pvr. And the most important to me, it did not change anything within vista mce.
It sounds like to me that these people are confused.... I think they are trying to produce a china knock off of vista mce. they want to integrate it into a 47 inch TV. But hey if it supports h.264, and does DVD streaming I'll switch in a second :)
Ok

Nothing bad happened to my Media Center when I installed it. It also uninstalled without any issues too. I think the bad impression that people have here is mainly caused by the poor level of English used to communicate this.
If anyone gets H.264 via DVB-T then I believe that this may well work in Media Center. Unfortunately as the only HD channels in the UK are on DVB-S I could not get this to work (tried DVBSBridge but Media Center still did not see my DVB-S tuners).
It angers me that we are all forced into trying work arounds like this because MS have not developed this fairly simple functionality. The speed of posts on this thread shows the level of interest in this.
Thank you for developing this new functionality for Media Center - unfortunately it does not help me but if it helps someone else then it is definitely good news!

Not sure if it was receiving in H.264 can't find anything in the program to say, but I am using a DVB-T tuner and NZ are broadcasting their freeview channels in HD Mpeg4, I've only been in NZ a few months and don't know too much more about their broadcast setup, my main system is somewhere on a ship on its way here from the UK, so only tested it on a laptop.
But for me the main thing was that it did pick up the broadcasts but not in Media center.
The quality looks good on the TV so at will save me NZ$300+ on a set top box as a short term solution.
Hi,
Installed last night in DK. I use FloppyDTV C/CI DVB-C /VIAccess CAM. The Install was without errors and the moonplayer recognized the TV card and found all channels incl. HD channels.
The HD channels did not work, but this was expected as the frequency was lately changed in DK. The new frequences the moonplayer found was posted yesterday and received by the dev. department.

almost sound to good to be true. Looking forward to the release.
BTW: will that include BD playback from HDD?
According to this Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264)...
"New Zealand's Freeview service launched its DVB-T transmissions in March 2008 using H.264/AVC."
So if you're seeing HD channels in Media Center then there must be a H.264 codec working there! Seems to me to be some excellent progress!!

Correct - New Zealand uses H.264/MPEG4... however I assume he was meaning that he was able to view the channels in the moonplayer (or whatever it is called) but not within Media Center?!
