Your Experience with MCE Vista + 360 Extender + IceTV

[Ike]

Hello,  I've just signed up for the 30 day trial of IceTv, I'm currently in work, waiting to get home to muck around with it.

I'm interested in your experiences with it, specifically those of you running Vista and using the 360 as an extender. Does the EPG flow through to the 360?
if so can you Schedule  your recordings from the 360?
Any setup nuances I need to look out for? (I read about the channels dropping off)

thanks for your time

Channels dropping off is a Vista issue, and has been fixed via hotfixes and registry keys, or in the case of SP1, registry fixes only. There is a good thread on it over at xpmediacentre.com.au

As for the guide over an extender, yes if you set a recording through the guide on an extender it will be recorded on the PC.

thanks for your response,

just thought I'd report back that it all works as expected, no problems with install the only problem I hit was when accessing the guide for the first time only a few channels were present, from this forum I found that rescanning and deleting all channels then adding the guide lsitings resovled this problem.

So far its really good works a treat recommended to anyone with a similar setup to me, will see how it goes for the next thirty days with my free trial.

My Only criticism is the documentation presented when installing is in duplicate and not applicable to the vista install asides from that good work IceTv.
