Watching TV using the Antenna on MCE

I have not had cable or sattellite for about 5 years now... never wanted it. On my media center I would watch movies, and few select TV shows I downloaded.

Today though, I hooked up an Antenna to get the free stations around Birmingham, and it is nice :) The TV interaction makes the media center experience much more complete.

If yu;d like to do the same, I use the AVC-3610 tuner from HP.

Tweak MCE Update ~ Media Center

Tweak MCE Update ~ Media Center: "Microsoft’s Update Rollup 2 for Windows Media Center Edition 2005 aka Emerald (for those with better things to do than recite long product names) broke one of the great add-ons for Windows Media Center Edition, Tweak MCE. Thankfully, Microsoft issued an updated version of Tweak MCE on November 4, solving the problem and restoring balance to the universe."
