Media Center 2005 works pretty good from everything I've seen.

I just finished building a new machine with it for my house, but I haven't got cable in that room just yet.

A friend has been running it for a while though, and he has the Media Center machine itself in the computer room, and then uses it through an Xbox with media center extender and a wireless network.

I have never noticed any audio sync problems or anything, the only thing that I find slightly annoying is that sometimes the navigation screens are a little laggy, but he says that's more an Xbox thing and the main rig doesn't do that. Xbox360 is supposed to be better with Media Center since it's so much faster.
