ZatzNotFunny.com has a couple of new images related to the newly released LG LRM-519 Digital Media Recorder – one is a picture of an LCD display connected straight to the unit showing off the standard Windows Media Center UI and another is a image capture of the Microsoft Program Guide Ad. This is the first time we’ve seen the actual GUI in person and it shows that Microsoft is extending the existing MCE GUI to non PC environments such as a DVR unit.

The LRM-519 could be a good solution if you just want a way to record television shows and you must have the MCE UI (and if you don’t want to purchase an actual MCE PC) – yet if you already have an MCE in the household – purchasing an Xbox 360 makes a bit more sense to me. We’ll go into why this is so later on this weekend when we review the Media Center Extender capabilities of the 360. For now, check out some of the pics at ZatsNotSoFunny.com.
