- This update for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 enhances
the stability and performance of Media Center 2005 and also resolves the following
issues: Under certain circumstances, when you watch Live or Recorded TV, the
audio and video may not be synchronized correctly.
- When you press the Live TV button on the remote while you are watching Recorded
TV, a video, or a DVD, a black screen or an error may sometimes occur.
- If you try to watch Live TV immediately after you complete the First Run
Wizard in Media Center, a video error may occur.
- When you use a Media Center Extender to try to view expired media content,
the extender device may stop working correctly until it is restarted. If you
install this update and then try to view expired media content on the extender
device, an error message will occur, but the extender device will continue to
work correctly.
- After you install this update, the response time for changing or for scanning
FM radio stations is much faster.
- After you install this update, the performance for certain PAL TV playback
hardware configurations is much improved.
- When you try to change channels in the Program Guide while both NTSC (National
Television Standard for Communications) tuner streams are being used by Media
Center, an error may occur or Media Center may stop responding. When this problem
occurs, you must restart Media Center. For example, this problem may occur if
you try to change channels in the Program Guide while two programs are being
recorded. This problem may also occur when one program is being recorded and
another program is being sent to another location by using a Media Center Extender.
For U.S. versions of Windows XP Media Center Edition, this update also provides
HDTV support for Media Center Edition 2005 computers equipped with an Advanced Television
Systems Committee (ATSC) tuner card.
