TV Archive feature: Does the metadata trasfer to the new .wmv file? If so, does media center read his info from the 10-ft interface? If no metadata is copied, can you tailor the filenames by episode title-date or other descriptors? Anything like this in the works to support proper archiving?

Not enough in my view, should provide better streaming to DNLA devices

Try looking in the Extras tile. The console view tile should be there.

Correct. This will not transcode copy protected shows. That's a licensing issue though, not a technical one.

Don't expect this to work with the Copy Protected/CableCard recordings.

I got the PP3 installed and all is well except the Console view is not available in Media Center. Any suggestions?

How do you do a system restore from a WHS backup, I mean do you need another bootable disc in the client machine or how can it reach the networked backup image?

No worries. Glad I could help.

I had to do a restore of Win7 using the restore CD (currently using PP2) and everything including the boot record went perfectly. I also used WHS to resize my partitions by taking space from partition 1 and adding it to partition 2. Process was (1) Reformat the drive
(2) create new partitions 1 and 2 (3) restore Vista to Partition 1 with 76 gb less space and (4) restore Win7 to partition 2 with 76 gb more space which got me around the problem of attaching free space to the left of the partition I was adding it to. Everything worked perfectly and there has not been even a hicup in the system since.
