This doesn’t affect me due to my locale, but my Vista Media Center machine just came up with a Service Alert icon, which gives you information about the digital TV switch over in the US.
There is a Microsoft KB Article here with more information. Below are the screen shots from the Service Alert being displayed inside Media Center. The Green Button gets a mention on the last page as well!

hmmm does anyone know how to remove and hide this service alert?
To answer my own question, you can untick this Service Alert icon using MC Menu Mender (Vista Only).
I think this service alert knocked out my Netflix icon and now I can’t get VMC Netlfix to reappear in Media Center.
