When will, or if at all, the movie bot work for UK post codes? It seems as
though it currently only works for US zip codes.

Thanks

Thats because they only care to bring new services to the US market...
happens all the time. Try being in Ireland...it sucks if you want to use any
microsoft location based software.

The Canadian locale is usually devoid of any new activities as well.

I understand that not every service has to be released in every country.
However the blogger could have at least mentioned that it was US only in the
post, rather than inviting the rest of the world to spend time trying a
service only to be disappointed.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the bot only works with US zip codes.
I've updated the post. Thanks for the feedback!

HI,

What's interesting is that things like MSN Direct have Canadian movie listings, so it's not
like MSN themselves don't have some license to such content.
