Microsoft have put out a couple of updates for Windows Media Center, the first (via Dennis Morgan) is for the Extender functions on the Xbox 360.
Issues that are resolved by this update:
This update addresses the following issues. These issues occur when you use Media Center on an Xbox 360 console. •This update addresses a picture quality issue that occurs when you use Media Center Extender on an Xbox 360 console that has a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connector to the TV for video and a Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format (S/PDIF) connection to the audio device for audio.
•This update addresses an issue in which the Media Center Extender stops responding (hangs) when you play a large non-WMV video over an HTTP session.
•This update provides support for 50Hz output together with better quality for HD models. This feature applies primarily to regions that use the PAL video standard.
I tested this update and unfortunately if your using the VGA cable on the Xbox 360 you still only get 60hz out of it
