  22. Nothing new for Media Center on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Expected Tomorrow · · Score: 3, Informative

    It was rumored earlier that they would add tvpack-2008 with SP2, but that's not happening. So no support for un-encrypted QAM, no support for mixing and matching ATSC and QAM channels. Sucks..
