Ugh, I want this sooo bad... except that Silverlight performance isn't that much better than Flash on OS X. Unless of course it has improved drastically in the past year or so.

Me too...it's 1/3 of my reasons of still keeping a Parallels or even Windows partition!

Did Silverlight ever implement some kind of hardware video acceleration on the Mac? The last time I tried 1.x, it had zilch for acceleration.

This is awesome. Next year when I move off-campus and I'm too cheap to pay for cable TV, I can use this!
