    The most important fix is the fact that you can now watch TV (live or recorded) in Media Center again, something they broke in the 285.62 drivers, forcing us to use beta versions.

    I had no probs watching TV in MC using 285.62. What OS? Win 7?

    Yup, 64-bit. It was a common problem affecting hundreds on the Nvidia forums.

    Edit: I say fixed, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but it was fixed in subsequent beta drivers, so I assume it has been rolled into this.

    I am, and it makes sense really. I guess I'm just having one of those days at work so made a stupid flippant comment. Sorry all!
