MCE Restricted Content Problems

2008-10-10T11:44:08-06:00

As an IT professional since the days of NT3.5 and user of MCE since it’s initial release, I have long been a promponent. However with the problems associated with Vista in general and it’s cooperation with devices and applications and the new problems seen around the internet and on both my 2005 and Vista Media Center, I am one step away from forgetting MCE as well as Windows Desktop.

The latest thorn is the continued Restricted Content blue screens on regular TV. The news or a show of CSI, PBS shows, you name it. I continually get the blue Restricted Content screens. This has become so frustrating that I am thankful I only have a handful of MCE installs in the field.

This actually gives more fuel to the anti-MCE users and udnermines the movement of this platform. It has been a great product but this latest has caused me so much grief that I wish I had never gone down the MCE track

Sitting Out the Show This Year

2008-09-03T05:25:56-06:00

I’ve heard from a number of CE pros who aren’t heading to Denver this year for CEDIA.

Some say it’s the economy, others say it’s not worth it anymore.

Are you sitting out the show this year? Why?

I am trying to utilize this forum for pitching my products at CEDIA.
This might be boring to some people, I hope you do not mind.
