A few months ago I said that Microsoft was planning on finally taking TV signal support in Media Center global , but little did I know that Japan would be the first to see the improved support. This past Friday Microsoft announced several new broadcast and hardware partners for Media Center in Japan...
Brent Evans has (almost) all your answers on the HD PVR that finally has started shipping . And remember, it doesn’t work with Media Center (yet?). Joe Wilcox has Eight Things About Windows 7 following Microsoft’s first public demo of the OS at All Things D. Overall I think Windows 7 is going to be more...
Joining the party of Hauppauge , AVerMedia , and SiliconDust (HDHomeRun), Pinnacle has released unencrypted QAM drivers /plug-in for their PCTV HD Card (800i). General beta driver guidelines apply (backup first!), but be aware that the first user at The Green Button to try them out had pretty poor results...
Mary Jo says Fiji is out for beta testing , but I wouldn’t know anything about that. Last night Netflix announced their first hardware partner for their stream STB, and it turns out that it is Roku . Kind of an interesting choice, but Dave covers why some might have seen it coming. The bad news, it is...

If someone wanted a prime example of how MCML has impacted third party products then look no further then the UI for Life|ware. Hauppauge reps are now saying they...
The much hyped HD-PVR (Component capture device) from Hauppauge has hit its first snag. First of all, it ships with no 64-bit support , and worse only single tuner support ! I wasn’t surprised by the 64-bit news, but I’m shocked at the single tuner. I’m not exactly sure if the single tuner support is...
Hauppauge put up the pre-order form for their HD-PVR 1212 that I talked about last week . Especially if you are ordering with Media Center in mind know that it will not work out-of-the-box, Media Center can’t support the video format it is pushing out. Hopefully Hauppauge can add support by years end...
Ian Dixon had Scott Evans from Microsoft on The Media Center Show this week along with AMD talking about AMD Live!
