My flat-mate purchased one of the new "slim" 360's the other day and though I had no interest in it, I found that it is a convenient way of using the Sky Player rather than having to physically go over to the media pc and use their software, or search endlessly and without result for a way...

I haven't had luck with streaming recorded tv over the internet :( I've searched these forums (and others) with no luck. Both machines are running the RC (build 7100) and both have been secured using my windows live id. I even installed a codec pack on the laptop and I was able to play one...

Hi there, I've been using the RC's for a few months now, loving it. But since installing RC2 I've run into a wall. I cannot watch live tv on my premium channels(in Canada, Movie Central most notably). Media Center plays for a few seconds, and then freezes, and displays a message that copying...
