There was some talk on an internal email list about this and i spotted this blog posting by Ian Dixon Internet TV for Windows Media Center available in the UK - Ian Dixon's Blog - The Digital Lifestyle.com
“At last Internet TV Beta 2 for Windows 7 Media Center is available in the UK and it has content! Remember the MSN UK Video services that was launched a couple of months ago? Well all that content is available in Windows Media Center, the plug in well designed and there is a lot of full TV shows available for streaming. There is also music videos, news, sport and a movie section that includes reviews and trailers. The video quality looks quiet good on my laptop but I have not tried it on my TV yet, I am not sure how well it will work on Extenders yet but I will give it a try tonight. There are the inevitable commercials before each video but that is to be expected It looks like a good start and its great to see the UK get some content for a change, you get the update when you open Media Center in the RTM version of Windows 7”

Shameless copy of the images from the digital lifestyles web site of it in action

Hello,
This looks very promising and I'd like to test it out but every time I launch it there's an 'Application Error' and the program closes. I even tried uninstalling Internet TV beta 2 and re-downloaded it with the same error.
Shame, as it sounds like an interesting addition to W7 MCE.

Exactly the same problem here in London, 'application error' - worked for the first day and was really good!
