    I'm currently running Mediaportal but now need to incorporate some media extenders (Linksys DMA2100) which MP doesn't support.
    Therefore,I'm switching over to the inbuilt Media Center. Any "must have" plugins?

    Check these out: http://www.hack7mc.com/2010/05/top-10-windows-7-media-center-plugins-for-summer-2010.html

    I've got Media Center Master, My Channel Logos, Media Browser & Remote Potato (on iPhone!). All highly recommend! :)

    Cheers!;)

    I've been trialling Media Browser and My Movies over the past couple of days...but both are quite poor in relation to MediaPortal's Moving Pictures and TV Series plugins,imo.
    I'll give Media Center Master a go too. :)

    i used mediaportal for 4 years before switching to w7, a bit of work with media browser and it can look just as good as moving pictures

    Have you considered XBMC? I find it to be far superior to WMC

    Use Media Center for live TV if you need live TV and use XBMC for movies.

    Media Center Studio is not a plugin but lets you change themes easily and customize the start page.
