Update on Michael Earls' travails (see this previous post)...

Sunday: Media Center is now the center of my Entertainment System, once again

Monday: Finally! Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound on Media Center

In summary...

"I'm now the happy owner of one killer Windows Media Center-Driven home theater setup.  I don't think I'll ever go back."

Yay!  Michael, because of your honesty and transparency I'm sending you some nice SWAG.  Enjoy your Media Center the way it was supposed to be...!
