Microsoft is done testing “Fiji,” its update to Windows Media Center and confirmed the RTM (released to manufacturing) of Fiji in a new Knowledge Base article (No. 955485). Fiji is now officially known as “Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008.”

“The Windows Media Center TV Pack was released on July 16, 2008. Not all computers that are shipped by hardware vendors in the retail channel have the Windows Media Center TV Pack installed. To check whether your computer has the Windows Media Center TV Pack installed, follow these steps:
1. Start Windows Media Center.
2. In the Start window, scroll to Tasks, click Settings, and then click General.
3. Click About Windows Media Center, and then click Software Version.
If the version is 6.1.1000.18273, you are running the Windows Media Center TV Pack.

If the version number is 6.0.6001.18000, you are not running the Windows Media Center TV Pack. You are running the version of Windows Media Center that is included in Windows Vista or in Windows Vista SP1.“

When will we see this via Windows Update?

Any new features (besides this TV fix)?

So it's basically a TV pack which doesn't add much extra features.

It has DirecTV support! It is designed to add new television standards support, enhance the user interface and set up experience, and add interactive TV features to Windows Media Center.
