Media Centre Edition - or 'MCE' - Microsoft's digital home offering for recording TV, playing music and viewing photos in the home. I've spelt the title in American form, but that's where allegiance to the USA ends. These pages are intended to provide links and information relevant to the UK use of Media Center. Inevitably I'll be duplicating information or links that you could find elsewhere, but I will try to provide information specific to my implementation of MCE.
