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
Here are some screen shots:
Thanks to Martin Millmore for the heads up

This week Garry and Andrew were busy so Jason Coombes ... 
Is any content HD or is it just SD? Is there extender support? I’m sans HTPC at the moment until Dell deliver so I can’t check myself.
Duncs
aargh! Damn my naff internet connection.
But still, this looks good.Plenty of content. I just wished my Internet speed was better.
Haven’t seen any HD content though.
This would also appear to work on the Release Candidate. I noticed on the RC that there was no extender support. Is this the same on RTM? Please Microsoft, give us extender support for this feature.
I have installed beta 2 but when ever I try and access it I get “Video Gallery Not Available”, do you have ideas why this is and what I can do to access the Internet TV?
