For being the slow time of year, there sure is some great Media Center related news out there. It’s only about one month until CEDIA kicks off and hopefully we’ll have even more to talk about then. For now though, we get a chance to talk about some 3rd party applications as well as a new feature that’s coming to Windows 7 Media Center.
For me personally, the biggest news this week is that Show Analyzer has gone public beta. That means that everyone can start skipping those commercials. Just take Show Analyzer, pair it up with DVR-MS Toolbox and you’re ready to go. And, Andy Van Til, the developer of DVR-MS Toolbox has been hard and work and given us Anti-Pack, the anti codec pack. Save yourself some trouble and have a look. Links in the show notes.

Hello, Ryan here. Just started listening and subscribed via Zune, I really enjoy the show. I heard you guys complaining a lot about having to reformat and setting up your Media Center PCs. If you still had your WHS you could just run a manual backup once after you have you MCPC setup and configured just the way you want and then revert back to it if you mess it up. I've done it numerous times for all the reasons you mentioned on the show and normally only takes about 30-45 minutes to complete. Much easier than reinstalling Windows and configuring a fresh install. You probably already know this but just thought I'd throw it out there.
Just listened to the show. Very interested to know the name of the sleep tool you mentioned for vista.
10. Immediately go shopping for zucchini and cucumbers.
9. Squat over a hand-held mirror for an hour and a half.
8. See if they could finally do the splits.
7. See if it's truly possible to launch a ping pong ball 20 feet.
6. Cross their legs without rearranging their crotch.
5. Get picked up in a bar in less than 10 minutes … BEFORE closing time.
4. Have consecutive multiple orgasms and still be ready for more without sleeping first.
3. Go to the gynecologist for a pelvic exam and ask to have it recorded on video.
2. Sit on the edge of the bed and pray for breasts too.
1. Finally find that damned G-spot.
Thanks
Ecker
