Two Windows Media Center MVPs, Andrew Cherry and Ian Dixon, have collaborated on a new resource for Media Center owners. Made for Media Center is an “app store” for Microsoft’s “TV on your PC” platform, combining a website for plugin authors to submit their wares, and a Media Center plugin which allows users to browse and download those applications.
A growing list of free plugins are now available for beta testers – fingers crossed the Media Center developer community jump on board and help support a great resource for MCE owners. To find out more about the plans for Made for Media Center, check out Missing Remote’s interview with Andrew Cherry.

I am not sure how useful MC is outside the US, but I now have the ability to watch/record all the native digital/HD from my cable company (except HBO and the other premium channels).
Which means I have used MC more in the last 6 months than the last 3 years combined.
Result: this is one URL I plan on visiting on a regular basis.

It’s really useful
except of cable tv it’s really easy so receive TV(DVB-S,DVB-T) video codecs are same all over the world 
The biggest german media center community has about 52770 registered people!
But IPTV support is nearly not available and the last update with adobe flash support isn’t available in europe… too!

Jim It's becoming much more relevant outside the US with each release. Windows 7s version now adds a huge amount of codecs and with SkyPlayer and the prospect of more IPTV it's becoming much more useful (MyMovies anyone). I think the main problem is with cable companies wanting to lock customers into their box rather than some home build (imagine tech support for any old HTPC). Good offering for MS, shame about the support (outside the US).

Site so far looks like a joke, not well done and there is nothing on it worth visiting it for at this point from an end user perspective.
Perhaps all the articles were written prematurely because there is nothing there to see, no plugin for MC, just a sign up page and nothing…
Hopefully it will improve but I will not be going back to it again.
Thus far all's it is is a good concept, poor implementation.
