Vista Media Center is a Disappointment
August 13, 2008
I’m so very disappointed this morning. One, my home PC hard drive crashed last night. Hopefully I’ll be able to recover some data from it, but still no fun. It used to be fun to fix a computer, but now I just want things to work.
That’s part of the reason I’m also disappointed with Vista Media Center. I was really looking forward to DirecTV support using the HDPC-20. (For those of you who don’t know what that is.)
But after reading this article I’m more than a little bummed. I really wanted this to work, native support without third party software is very appealing to me.
After hacking away at hardware such as the Xbox, and trying to get a whole home audio visual system, for quite a while now, I’m simply tired of it. I just wanted this “FIJI” update to be the holy grail of updates, and allow me to hook DirecTV into my PC and stream away to my Xbox360 media center extenders.
