Microsoft has released April 2006 Update Rollup for Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005. This update rollup is intended for computers that
are running Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

Besides the fixes that are contained in the updates that are listed in this
section, this update resolves the following issues:
- Incorrect guide data for ATSC minor channels that you have manually added
After you manually add Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) minor
channels and install Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition,
the minor channels may not have unique guide data associated with them.
- ATSC channels move into a five-digit channel range
When you configure a satellite service provider and an over-the-air ATSC,
the ATSC channels may move into a five-digit channel range. Because of this
problem, you cannot type a channel number by using the Media Center remote
control or keyboard.
- Delay when you change DVB-T channels
There may be a long delay when you switch between audio-only and TV DVB-T
channels.
- Teletext bar remains on the screen after you use transport controls
The Teletext bar does not disappear after you use the transport controls
when you are recording a program that has Teletext subtitles.
- Teletext blinks frequently
- Closed captions do not display correctly
Some closed captioning may not display correctly.
- Media Center computer is not suspended after you use the TV tuner
After you install Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition, the
Media Center Edition computer is not suspended if the tuner has been used.
- DVB-T scanning does not work correctly in the Czech edition of Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005
- You receive a "Unsupported File Type" error message when you burn a DVD
video
When you try to burn a DVD video by using the Cyberlink PowerDVD MPEG2
decoder, you may receive a "Unsupported File Type" error message. This
problem occurs after you install Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center
Edition 2005. This update adds an additional AC3 decoder to the list of
supported decoders.
- Tuning information is missing for the 1 MUX on 186 megahertz (MHz) setting
in the Italian version of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
The Italian version of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 may be missing

Hmmm, Ann or Gary?

KB914548 just appears (for me) as a Software Optional update (Windows Update
Web site). This just after installing a new (for me) critical update
KB913800. My computer a new one, 3 weeks or so old.

How to tell what "...Update Rollup 2..." (for XP MCE) means?

This does not work for me.
Once installed,
a) Media Centre Keeps crashing
b) I loose all my recorded tv shows
c) keeps complaining of miss installed components

My advice is steer clear.
