I wish I could talk about this “TV Pack” so you guys do not screw up your PCs, but I can not until the NDA is lifted for the Media Center MVPs.

Its ok, its more fun this way.

Image software is your friend.

But look at it this way, even if it messes up your system, you were going to have to re-install anyways.

Dang!  I expected it to make its way to the inner-tubes....  But not this quick!!  :)

Not yet.  We are testing the new data feed right now.  Should be live in the next couple weeks.

OEM only.....................right

Wow. Now I understand your shady response in previous threads on the sub-channel issue and the availability of a fix. So it will happen before Windows 7. Seems that if I get my hands on this TV pack the two main complaints I have on VMC are history.

Were they trying to drive more sales by keeping it from us?  Or what?  it does make one wonder....

I wonder if they were going to release it to everyone in september the entire time but just wanted it to be a surprise?  lol....   doubtful 

Can anybody confirm clear QAM support is now working with an ATI theater 600 card? or a Hauppauge HVR-1250?

 

Well, I just installed it on two existing and running VMC with no problem.  TV Setup is the only thing I really see different in my VMCs.

I've also successfully installed in a pre-existing vista install (as in I didn't fresh install).

so far it has found my AverMedia m780 as 2 tuners, one analog and one clear QAM digital.

Odd thing I noticed is that during the channel scan, the list that shows what channels were found were in chinese (I got this via the download link earlier in this thread). I know i have some signal issues currently though, so I will see how this goes and report back.

I've backed up my system and I am merely doing this out of curiousity. most probably I will revert back to my previous install when i'm done testing it as all this adds for me is the native clear QAM.

i also was just able to install it w/o the need for a vista reinstall but i havent been able to test out the tv setup since you cant run it via rdp and i remoted in from work to install.  will update when i get home in a bit over an hour.

just wondering here but via my rdp session album art looks like its higher rez than it was before.... anybody else look at that yet?  (i havent viewed on my extender yet since thats the only place i routinely play music from).  i noticed a few of my albums no longer have art (not sure why as they had it before)

Everything seems to be working fine except my Sony VGP-XLIB2 DVD Changer is not showing any DVDs in it anymore.  Hmmm, it must have broken a driver or something.  Again, all of the other functions are working including My Movies and Vista4Cast and my other add-ins.

if you install it in a existing vista installation, does vista still read your old DVR-MS files and just for new recordings make WTV?
