Seems like there are a lot of clued up IT people here, I am an IT manager for 2 ports in the UK, but so far i havent had a chance to have aplay with XP media centre.

Has anyone else on here used it or even owns it ? And how do they find it good, bad, useless ? Let me know because it looks really nice and has some cool features like the DVR side of it.

Thanks in advance.

I have and would recomend it . Use it all the time . The picture quality is slightly deminished from that of regular TV. Say maybe 10%. Not bad. Could be fixed if you can get a tuner card to support HiDef I think .

I'm a happy camper though.
