You just have to provide your valid email address and you would get the Windows Media Center upgrade for Windows 8 free of cost.

The site does not not seem to be working.

It says "Thank you. Your product key will be emailed to you. If the email doesn’t arrive in your inbox, be sure to check your junk email folder."

But no email.

May be it is not activated as yet.

** Windows 8 Media Center Pack is available at no charge for a limited time only through the promotional page on Windows.com. If you obtain Windows 8 Media Center Pack through any other location, fees might apply. Offer valid from October 26, 2012, until January 31, 2013, and is limited to one product key per email address. In addition, each product key can only be used with one computer. You qualify for this promotion if your PC is running Windows 8 Pro. Additional hardware may be required to watch and record live TV.

This promotion ends on January 31, 2013; your product key must be activated no later than February 1, 2013.

If you purchase a new PC with Windows 8 preinstalled and you later upgrade that PC with Windows 8 Pro Pack, Windows 8 Media Center Pack, a volume license edition, or a retail edition, you will no longer be able to install apps that are provided exclusively from your PC manufacturer through the Windows Store.
