Chill guys it's a test. They don't want to spend massive amount of money on a world wide roll out if it's not going to be successful in the US first. It's easier for them to deploy in the US because they already had the infrastructure setup in the US.

There isn't anything worth watching on there right now anyway.

If it's successful I'm sure MS will deploy it elsewhere in the world.

Just because you don't have this "feature" doesn't mean that you are getting screwed... trust me. With how it preforms so far I'm betting that you wouldn't be happy if you had it, but it's only in beta.

I really hope MS sticks with this idea.

If you don't see the update restart your computer. I didn't have it on my desktop until I opened MC then restarted my comp and opened MC again. Strange, but thats what happened.

Well I have tried to find the update for this program but no luck here. I have Windows Vista Ultimate and live in the US.. Anyone know why I wouldnt get the update? Is it just under the regular windows updates?

Hey, British Guys...

With sites like TV-Links.co.uk you shouldn't be complaining on the lack of US contents on your screens. And you don't have to pay the Ultimate price to get it, either.

Looks good, But under Entertainment, History Channel, Modern Marvels, Windmill the show plays for about 6-8 minutes, then shows what appears to be an ad, then shows another show at random (Music Video, News, etc.), and does not show the rest of episode.

Has anyone else seen this? and where can I report the issue?

Thanks

Im sure the non US thing is due to media being restricted to regions, yes this sucks but its really the media companies we need to complain to not Microsoft.

UK stations only buy shows after they have been proven to work in the USA, that way you never have to watch some of the really bad CW shows we get in the USA. Although with torrents and the like available these days it would be nice to see Microsoft tell the media companies that the future is the internet, which has no boundries and that they need to adapt to this or risk failure.

Hopefully the FTC will sell the free spectrum to Google and force the media and phone companies in the US to compete. People call Microsoft a Monopoly, however from living in the US I can tell you that it is the Cable/Media companies, Telephone and Oil companies that really need some competition. Thats why you UK users are getting hard nosed by Microsoft because the Media companies have a monopoly in the USA... Kinda like the BBC and the British TV license.

Nobody in the UK wants to pay the BBC £135.50 a year, I could buy a Wii or Xbox 360 core in the USA for that price its high... Monolopolys suck :-) as they slow down the pace of innovation.

So the Beta is going to be "forced" into all users tomorrow?
