PVRBlog notes:

A lot of people received a PVR like TiVo, Replay TV or a Windows XP Media Center for Christmas and are thinking "OK, now what?"  We at PVRBlog, aside from wishing you happy holidays, want to provide a sort of introduction to using your new device.  Inside this post we'll be linking to tips and guides for your new PVR to help you get started.

They've actually done a pretty good job of lining up resources including calling the Media Center Expert Zone portal “comprehensive”. They even point to my little site here as well- thanks :).

More details on the Motorola 6412 DVR over at PVRBlog as well.  All I can say is I've been very impressed by the experience overall with Microsoft TV Foundation Edition powering the box I've been using, even if it's single-purpose. Still, the Movie Finder feature in Media Center is hands-down the best and I really wish I had it on the Comcast DVR.

Oh- if you do get one of these boxes and use a Logitech Harmony 688 remote, you'll likely have to learn the Page Up/Page Down buttons. The recorded profile didn't seem to have these.

Tip of the day for Media Center 2005 users: Don't forget to go grab the Tweak MCE 2005 Powertoy for free. You can really tweak out a bunch of settings with it.
