Site so far looks like a joke, not well done and there is nothing on it worth visiting it for at this point from an end user perspective.

Perhaps all the articles were written prematurely because there is nothing there to see, no plugin for MC, just a sign up page and nothing…

Hopefully it will improve but I will not be going back to it again.

Thus far all's it is is a good concept, poor implementation.

Jim It's becoming much more relevant outside the US with each release. Windows 7s version now adds a huge amount of codecs and with SkyPlayer and the prospect of more IPTV it's becoming much more useful (MyMovies anyone). I think the main problem is with cable companies wanting to lock customers into their box rather than some home build (imagine tech support for any old HTPC). Good offering for MS, shame about the support (outside the US).

It’s really useful except of cable tv it’s really easy so receive TV(DVB-S,DVB-T) video codecs are same all over the world

The biggest german media center community has about 52770 registered people!

But IPTV support is nearly not available and the last update with adobe flash support isn’t available in europe… too!

I am not sure how useful MC is outside the US, but I now have the ability to watch/record all the native digital/HD from my cable company (except HBO and the other premium channels).

Which means I have used MC more in the last 6 months than the last 3 years combined.

Result: this is one URL I plan on visiting on a regular basis.
