Lovely!

Now, how to get it and who's 'brave' enough to try it?

[ExtremePC]

I got it a few days ago, came down in a heavy rain.

Haven't tried it yet.

[dabing]

I'll give it a go - where/how do I get it?

*I presume I am allowed to use/get it as a Windows Vista Home Premium owner*

Just my luck. I finally manage to find and download the Beta this morning, then log onto the forum to hear that it isofficially released.

funnily enough there is no reference to it on the microsoft sites under:

Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008
or fiji

If you do get your hands on it, I would STRONGLY advise against installing on your main VMC because:

1. Neither IceTv or FreeEPG (& variations) work with it yet;
2. The current EIT data isn't great & there's no SBS;
3. If the release candidate is anything to go by, it becomes a fresh install.

Yep, I'll be waiting for Ice to fix their guide for Vista before I upgrade. SBS won't be doing 7 days over EIT until around December.

I also won't upgrade if it requires a fresh install, that's a joke. There's nothing in it (reportedly) that I really need.

oh there is always a fine print section.

Most updates are nuts & bolts - it's mainly groundwork for the Windows 7 version. There will be some very disappointed people in the next few days.

Works much better too..
