Whats The Difference Between Pro And Media Center?
here is your answer:

more integration with your existing media components
And a Microsoft-only file format. A big drawback in Australia (as we usually record to mpg or ts (Transport Stream) files for Digital TV and then use other programs like ProjectX to convert the files to DVD format).
EDIT: It also is only available as an OEM distribution.
