PurePVR

One of the downsides about building your own PVR / DVR solution is the fact that you have to maintain the integrity of the system. This could range from things like replacing hard drives or memory, or more commonly, software patches, which brings up the point of this post.

Yesterday Microsoft released a new update for Windows XP MCE. Generally these aren’t too big of an issue to install – it’s not like a major revision to the Operating System. It can still be a pain though for those of us who do not want to patch our entertainment devices.

This particular update appears to contain small bug fixes as opposed to new features. Update Rollup 2 is required before you can install this newest rollup however.

A further measure that you can take to make sure that you are up to date is to check the version number of your MCE. Ed Bott recently made a post that describes how you go about doing this.
