So, I spent a couple days trying to get the TV Guide (or perhaps "the Guide for TV") in Widows Media Center to connect to its server.
I am 99% certain that you need to keep the "Remote Access Service Client Tools" in order for WMC to connect. (There will be a folder called RAS in the ehome directory after WMC begins to update itself on first run.)
So I suggest another Compatibility item titled WMC. In addition to the expected items one needs to keep to get WMC to work, I suggest adding the Tool above. (I would offer a list of the other components that need to be kept. But I need a "reverse look-up" feature in NTLite to do that, that tells me what I didn't remove. More on that in a later Topic.)
I'm only 99% certain that this is necessary because the Guide server is a little wonky and I can't always update the Guide on a working WMC install. But I was never able to download the Guide without the Tool.
