As of last week I was thinking about canceling my Direct TV, because I never watch it, well I watch it a little but nothing to warrant the $55 dollars a month. So I went looking last night for something would allow me to watch internet content easily. I already have windows media center edition running on my 42 inch so I wanted something that could easily add onto that.
it probably has in its selection all video casts released on the internet. You can also subscribe to as many as you want, and it downloads them all in the back ground, so when you sit down to watch something you have a plethra of stuff to watch. Some of my favorites so far are , DL.TV and cranky geeks. Below is a screenshot of the software running in Windows Media center.
to make it complete I bought a windows media center remote, and if all goes well I'll be canceling my direct tv by the end of the month.
The number seen in the 2nd image under "My Channels" is the number of shows per program it has already downloaded and I have to watch.
They recommend 500 megs of free space per subscription.
and yes you can full screen it.
