Hi Ian!

As a long-time (European) listener, I've got to say, that this show was probably your best.

Great to hear that Microsoft is finally putting some serious effort into European DVB-x standards. However, I was sad to learn that DVD-C won't be supported anytime soon...

However now that I've got that information, I can act accordingly.

This is probably one of the biggest problems with the Media Center team - you really don't know what standards they're going to support until the release, which is very frustrating. But this podcast really shed some light on that – at least for the next update, which probably will be at the end of 20007 – with Vista SP1.

Now I’ll have to look at FireDTV-solution for DVD-C :)

Thank you for a great podcast and keep up the great work!

King regards

Hi Ian,

great podcast - one question, when Rathe talks about the next release of Media Center, is he talking about  SP1 or later?

Thanks for bringing this information to the world, its good to actually be able to hear where the product is going, so often its left until the product is released, which is no good for most customers who would like to know where the product is heading to plan ahead.

Thanks

Tony
