I guess this is the best place to ask this, apologies if it's already been covered in the thread.
Last night, I tried to add some MS points, but thanks to the new Dashboard, it proved impossible to find the interface to use my credit card. Is there some treasure map, or magic trick, or Konami Code I need to input to give them my damn money? Or is it in plain sight and I missed it?
I added points a minute ago when I wanted to buy the Legendary maps for Halo. I just went to the download page and tried to download it with 0 points. It took me to a page where I confirmed what card I wanted to use, and that was it.
If you bring up any "purchase" screen, you can hit X to add more points that way as well. You should see the prompt near the bottom.
Does anyone know where to see Active Downloads now? I can't find it anywhere.
So I've seen screenshots of the Aqua Teen premium theme, and that apparently it has been out for awhile and yet I can't seem to see it on my xbox. I live in Canada, so I don't know if its only available for US only or not. Can't seem to find any info on google about it. Anyone know?
I'm pretty disappointed in the Rock Band theme. Mostly that it just looks like the same stack of amps behind the avatars. A little variety would be nice. The Guitar Hero one is better in that respect, but the background is ass. The Forza one looks nice... Three bucks, though. I'll just wait until I have an extra 250 points or a really good theme comes out.
I've been having a lot of wireless trouble with NXE, though it may be due to my new router. There are times when Netflix gives me full four bars, and I can watch 30 rock in seamless HD. Other times, I get 1 bar and can't start anything.
Does anyone else have this problem?
It seemed to get better when I changed my wireless channel from 11 to 14, but once I moved the XBox off the bridge and on to its own wireless adapter it couldn't find the signal.
I guess my specific questions are:
Does Netflix throughput really change that much with time of day?
Does the official Microsoft wireless adapter work with wireless channels above 11?
What is an easy way to find the best unoccupied wireless channels? (including those occupied by networks without SSID broadcast)

Yeah that one is region locked to the US, I'm also I Canada and whould of enjoyed this theme. I wish they weren't so pricey though for a theme. I want to get that street fighter theme to.

I used to use http://www.netstumbler.com/downloads/ to check out all the wifi networks in my area (back when I ran windows), and I don't think the Xbox adapter supports channels above 11 due to various laws in certain countries.

That's a great suggestion! The wiki says it's not being updated anymore, but that there is an open-source alternative Inssider.
I may need to find a Linux alternative, since I just switched to Ubuntu and won't be able to get a new copy of Vista for a week or two.
Thanks!
Edit:
There's Kismet for Linux, but I just realized that I probably need a wireless card to use these. My PC is wired to the router, and only the consoles use wireless. I wonder if DD-WRT's site survey will pick up on networks that don't broadcast their SSID.
Even in those previews, I didn't see anything on the Armored Core: For Answer theme in Japan's marketplace. Been trying to find screenshots of it before I buy.
