Microsoft has released an update for the Windows Media Center TV Pack for Windows Vista. This update is intended for computers that are running the Media Center TV Pack on Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate.

The update for Media Center TV Pack for Windows Vista resolves the following issues:

• Recordings on systems that have in-band schedule data are split into multiple recordings.
• Scheduled recordings disappear from Media Center.

Microsoft has released the Cumulative Update for Media Center TV Pack for Windows Vista. This update rollup is intended for computers that are running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate with the Media Center TV Pack for Windows Vista.

The Cumulative Update for Media Center TV Pack for Windows Vista resolves the following issues:

• Addresses an issue in which Windows Media Center Extenders cannot re-connect to the host computer after the computer resumes from the suspend or sleep mode.
• Improves the experience of recording analog TV broadcasts to include set-top box scenarios. Previously, some shows were blocked with “protected content” messages.
  Note: This solution does not apply to configurations that use analog TV over digital cable tuners. The BIOS for the digital cable tuners provide content protection.
• Addresses an issue in which incorrect PlayReady API is called.
• Addresses an issue in identification of systems with the Windows Media Center TV Pack installed for server-related content.
• Addresses an issue with certain extensibility applications that pass the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) protocol-based URLs.
• Addresses an issue with .wtv files that are listed as unsupported file type after the third-party decoders are installed.
• Addresses an issue with Terrestrial Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB-T) digital TV signal when it uses component or composite output.

Consider the following scenario:

• You have a Windows Vista-based computer that has Windows Media Center TV Pack installed.
• The computer has multiple graphics adapters and has multiple monitors connected.
• You play a DVD or a TV program in Windows Media Center.
• You start Windows Media Center in a secondary monitor, or you move it to a secondary monitor while the video is playing.

In this scenario, the video that is displayed on the second monitor may appear garbled. This problem occurs only on computers that have certain graphics hardware installed.
