kendrome: I was able to setup the HD broadcasts numbers to the .1 of the analog channel number (for example ABC analog is channel 13, and the HD is 13.1).
Two major bugs for me:
Dastrong: No inclusion of H.264 decoder for HD tranmission (big issue for European users)
Dragonfly47:Were you able to do that through the HDHomerun software, or through VMC? I haven't played around much with channel settings since installing the TV Pack last week but that would be very helpful. My HD QAM channels are all over the place currently.
I dont know if this is a TvPack bug or if it was there previously, but here goes my description
You're watching TV. You go to the guide. Go back to TV. Then go to sleep for the night.
Awake the next morning and VMC goes to the last viewed screen other than live TV, so it powers up on the guide.
If you use the arrow keys and move through the listings, the description of the program in the lower left corner stays stuck on whatever it was the night before.

Thats a bug in TV Pack - if you dismiss the guide and bring it back, its all back to normal (i.e. press the guide button twice). Its been fixed in the next version.

1 - yes - webguide doesnt work
2 - yes - new format to support new attributes. Has broken 3rd party tools. There's work being done to correct this.
3 - I didnt know about this - Im not sure what you mean all over the place
4 - dont know
5- dont know
6,7 - see 2
8 - only a minor bug, (bring up mini guide and then channel up/down to change channel while mini guide is displayed. Result: you end up with the miniguide and info bar showing for a short period of time)
9 - mcupdate_schedule shouldnt be disabled. However, I think the issue you're talking about is the machine waking up in the middle of the night. There's a separate thread on this and we're trying to figure out whats the cause of the machine waking up.
10 - dont know.
Mike - nice to see you posting such detailed responses, particularly letting us know about bug and releases.
When I edit channels, specifically when I'm changing channel numbers sometimes when I hit "previous" it will take me to the channel that is -1 of the NEW channel number, rather than the -1 channel of the original channel number. It makes it a right pain to run through all the channels, because you don't now where you've got to.
It seems to be different on different "visits" to edit channels - sometimes when you go in it does do it, sometimes hitting previous takes you -1 of the original channel.
Not being able to play the new format on MCE2005 it a nightmare as well - I have two other mediacenters that aren't able to run Vista.
Also, I've noticed that sometimes when I'm scrolling through the guide, the preview changes in the bakground.

I would say that 5 and 6 are also affected by the MediaExperience and MSAS bugs.
Mike,
You say this is fixed in the next version, is this a hot fix \ windows update or are you speaking of a seperate release.

Here is what I have found - the the main bug I am having problems with is related to cable cards. Everything works fine without WTV 2008 however some channels (which I am suppose to have) with cable cards will come up and say ther is no TV signal (if watching live) however if you set the channel to record it will record just fine and you can watch the program, you just can't warch it live. It appears to only affect HD channels and not neccisarily all of them ( I have 3 channels I am having problems with).
