Windows Media centre requires pretty specific type hardware , and the drivers for the hardware need to be installed in a specific order otherwise it turns pear shaped pretty quickly.
Check the Hardware Compatability List first to see if your present setup is up to scratch and maybe save yourself a few hours of formatting and pain.
Its good when setup but a bitch to get it there..

Thanks for the info.

Is there any other product that you recommend for a TIVO type setup. I want to be able to record all motor sport without haing to remeber to record it. I keep missing RPM and F1.
