TV Tuning in New Zealand

I found this site today, useful for setting up your Media Center system. It lists all the TV transmitters around New Zealand with frequencies.

I also got this link for a silent PC Power Supply. My HTPC is way too loud, maybe this would be worth trying.

So Paul, when is Microsoft going to have an EPG for the NZ market. (For Media Player)

I went in to Bond and Bond and looked at a nice Philips Media Center box. I asked about EPG and they didn't know what I was talking about.

Hi Blair, you mean Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Rather than Media Player. It's very cool and I used it at home, but I'm not in that part of the business and so I can't answer your question.

All MCE really needs is functionality to accept an XML feed of information. There's already plenty of sources of such information, but getting it into the MCE database is *very* tricky. <sigh>

You can get the guide working in NZ by following instructions in the Hacks and Mods section of www.thegreenbutton.com.

Looks like the developer JB from thegreenbutton.com has decided to keep the hack to himself and a very few testers.

It is an interesting read and looked very promising.
So sir Chris Auld - I guess your our only hope now!
