Xbox 360 extender and Media Center Update not sticking

Sorry if this is not the proper forum, but I couldn't see anything specifically for Xb0s 360 extenders.

I have 3 Xbox 360s that I use for extenders. Two have HDs, the 3rd only has the 4gb built in storage. EVERY ONE when I download the Media Center update so I can watch HD channels works FINE until I turn them off - then when I turn them back on the update has disappeared and I have to redownload it again - making me NOT use the extenders! It's like it only loads into memory then disappears on power cycle. HELP!!

I don't remember ever having that problem but.........

Try updating Xbox through WMC or through your win 7 or 8 or whatever you're using.

Most likely it's something you need to install in your operating system.

Along with the media update, you have to be logged into Xbox live for it to "stick". It really sucks but that is how Microsoft manages it. It is extremely annoying when you want to watch TV and Xbox live server is down.

I kept having this issue in my bedroom Xbox 360 but not my other Xbox on wireless. There is a switch in between the bedroom Xbox and the Router. I rebooted the switch, router, modem and problem has gone away FYI.
