RE: XP MCE 2005 - UK Launch

["Steve Abbott" <steve.abbott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently using it on my Higrade DMS,  it hasn't changed my opinion
of MCE - I'm still using my TiVo for TV recording and viewing.  The
quality of the encoding is not as good as TiVo.

For music and photos (and video camera films) its excellent. Its being
moved into the main bedroom today and I'm hoping to use an xbox extender
in the lounge.  My daughter already uses Xbox Media Center to stream
from it, although in a non-MS way.

I'm going to plug it into a Relysis 17" wide TFT to see if it is the
scaling that is the problem with TV, as on a Sony 32" I find it very
blocky and annoying.
