Microsoft today released several non-security related updates to Windows 7 including three related to Media Center.

The February 2010 Windows Media Center Cumulative Update for Windows 7, provides improvements for digital cable card and Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB) users, backwards compatibility for some Windows Media Center extensibility applications, and fixes for those using the Hijri calendar.

The second fix, for Extensibility applications that provide TV playback stop responding in Windows Media Center of Windows 7, provides a fix for extensibility applications when there are no TV tuners available to handle a tuning request.

Finally the third fix is an update is available for third-party extensibility applications that start DVD playback in Windows Media Center for Windows 7 , which should help alleviate issues with some DVD applications becoming non-responsive.

With any luck these fixes may help with those porting add-ons from Vista MCE to Windows 7.
