Hey, I had some friends over for some Xbox'n and home theater'n and I
noticed a new streamin' item in Online Media--The Big Debate. Very cool.
Hilarious. I didn't know that the offerings in Media Center were dynamic and
updated. There is a new Learn How item as well which I hadn't noticed
before.

Looks like Mcrsft is doing an Xbox Live number on Media Center and
entertainment value continues to evolve. I approve. Check it out.

Hey, have you enabled all your online access and sharing of information,
upload and download, in the settings? That is required here for extra
content to be offered. Some of you British Luddites are way
paranoid I've noticed; not enabling anything, complaining about high CPU
cycles, sitting around with stopwatches and timing file transfer speeds to
determine if Vista is worthy, blaming Microsoft of conning the UK because
third-party North American content isn't available there, wanting everything
for free now because they spent 100 quid five years ago. Oh wait, they
pirated it five years ago when it would have cost 100 quid to buy it. Never
mind.

Any entrepreneurs over there want to partner up with Mcsft and offer some
content to UK consumers? Looks like the field is wide open. Get the BBC to
produce streamable HD content, or a third party with BBC's release. Sell
adverts to support it. Uh oh, government entity. Well somebody else then.
Fox does sports programming here in Media Center, but only as a listing of
what is playing now or coming up in their broadcasts. Very cool for sports
fans. The possible iterations are wide and varied. It's all about markets
and
marketing. You don't expect Mcsft to pay for it do you?
