Dohhh !!

Was too quick looking for it. Oh well another month.

cheetah05 · 2007-06-30, 16:12

Anychance this could be integrated into Media Portal?

petzlux · 2007-06-30, 16:16

Guess if you can use it with a remote control through HIP for example it could be quite easy to do a quick and dirty "integration".

petzlux · 2007-08-01, 20:52

Just got access to it ! waiting for the first download to finish, so far I dont know how you would integrate it with MP, as the downloads are done inside a custom client software.

Hmmm, see no Vista support for this yet.

Will keep a eye on this, but would say for most people with PVR capabilities (as here) this is only a internet duplicate of what you can do anyway.

Well I wouldnt say a duplicate, as there is that small detail that this is LEGAL !!

(I mean opposed to downloading it from some bittorrent source. It is also a nice fallback for when you missed something that wasnt recorded, for whatever reason (no free tuners, PVR down ... )

And downloads once started were fairly quick. I could imagine this working with one of the webbrowser plugins, because the navigation inside the client is quite easy.

Pity that in the hype for this, that they forgot to mention that it is being limited in the number of people able to use this beta software.

You can sign up for it, but may not receive the email link once there quota is reached.

Regards
