To my surprise, the memory for the WMC machine arrived a day before the estimated time of delivery.  After popping the 2Gb stick in and firing it up, it’s now running at 3Ghz’s with 3Gb of RAM.  Recorded some TV for the first time the other night and it worked like a champ.  Unfortunately the picture quality is not great, but that is because of the analog signal not the WMC.  My only complaints with WMC so far is are not being able to play DVDs and not able to play music that is stored on a pc other than the WMC.  Both of these issues occur when trying to play them over the XBox 360.  Probably ways around this but I haven’t found them.  If anyone has any ideas, other than using Transcoder or some other 3rd party app, let me know.

There are a couple of other things on my mind but it would make this post very long.  Stay tuned for more WMC, ironic news story, and the finale of “ER”.
