Occasionally I go with the flow, and buy a 'standard' HP media PC, with Vista pre-installed - hook it up to the TV and stereo and start exploring the change from broadcast to vodcast TV.
For a year things worked quite well... until HP & Windows update services decided to end my fun.
Both want to update my graphics driver Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family
from 7.14.10.1322 to 7.14.10.1461. Vista SP1 seems to have it as a requirement.
The new driver however, loses the TV settings (zoom mostly) after the computer wakes from standby... damn annoying.
So far, the working solution is to system restore prior to the upgrade, then run windows update, and hide the Intel driver update. Now it's time to sit and wait for intel's next release... or until I buy a LCD TV :)
