Damn. 🙁

Guess that helps keep those XBL Gold Accounts a little more worthwhile.

Now if they will just get hulu working I might actually use media center again.


If you got an extender you can use playon

I have a Linksys DMA 2200, and love it, for the list price of near $400, it was a loser, I paid a whopping $100 for mine.

If I were a gamer, I'd have gotten an XBox, but I'm not & for $100, it works beautifully...

Does this mean we can watch the HD versions of some of these movies? Before it required a standalone like roku, tivo or xbox. Anything streamed from the pc looked like crap. Has that changed?

Wonder when/if it shows up in Win7.
