Media Center 2005

I swear, every time I try to be a company guy and go with our technology, I want to scream.  I am a TIVO guy, and as such, am used to stuff Just Working.  Today, I took the plunge and went and purchased a Windows Media 2005 box with an HDTV card in it. 

I just set it up and it won't work.  It crashes.  It freezes up.  Nothing displays.  Goooood stuff.

My HD Tivo, by contrast, Just Worked.

This happened to me when I bought Ultimate TV as well -- piece-o-crap.

Arrrghghghghghghg.

Okay, off to fight with it some more.
