Re: .Net Framework 2005 Beta 2 causes live TV errors, video errors, guide errors

Thanks for letting us know. I was planning on installing that beta on my new
laptop, after I nuke it and install MCE 2005. Now I'll hold off for the
release version or put it on another PC...

FWIW, I've installed the Beta 2 on an MCE machine with no problems (at least
so far!)
