There are no questions about whether you run WHS at home. I infer from this that we can expect little in WHS/MC integration coming in Win7 or future versions of WHS. Too bad.

I also wanted to add info on the TV tuners I will be adding in 2 weeks. The hardware i plan on getting will be chosen based on what i hope will be better supported in the future. A hint on what to choose would be so nice...

I like the sound of the specific questions on Direct-TV. I'd switch from my Comcrap cable to Direct-TV in a second if that legendary Direct-TV tuner box were available and supported in Media Center...

This is sounding more like a PCI based OCUR card for media center to decode premium channels. It has a different set of questions for TV Pack. I hope it's that since that's always been a pain to "timeshift" HBO.

I did the survey but they didn't give me a download link.

Did this happen to anyone else?
