Version 2 will also allow a Media Center PC to run two
ATSC television cards (versus one for the previous
version). Each card can carry two tuners, so
theoretically you could play and/or record up to four
TV programs (two high-definition and two
standard-definition) at once. You can stream HD or SD
programming from the PC to a Media Center Extender or
to the Xbox 360, which is supposed to go on sale in
November. The old version of the OS would stream only
standard-definition content.<<<<

Does anyone know if this update can be used on older Windows Media Center
versions, or only on the latest (2005?)? I have a HP Media Center computer
that's about 2 years old. I don't know the MC version (I'm at work), but I
know it's the one that only supported NTSC. I think I know the answer to
this question, but it doesn't hurt to ask, I guess. The link below doesn't
address this issue, AFAIK.

Brad, I don't *think* it is for 2004, but if so, it's a free update from
within Windows Update - so just go to windowsupdate.com and it will either
be there or not.

Thanks, Jason, I'll give it a try when I've got some (a lot) of time (I'm
on dial-up at home).
