For awhile now US Windows Media Centre users have been enjoying the beta of Internet TV provided by MSN Video however this has been impossible until this week in the UK, some people attempted to get this to work by setting their regional settings to English US, though this allowed the beta to be installed due to regional IP address locking most content was unavailable.
That all changed yesterday when I noticed a new option appear in the Extras menu. Internet TV Beta 2. To ensure you receive access to the beta, just ensure you have Automatic Downloads switched on.
Once installed I was surprised to see a decent set of programmes, with full TV shows from the BBC and Channel 4 including Peep Show, Mock the Week, Shameless and Bottom, Music Videos, News Clips, Movie Trailers and more. Whilst I thought the content was of a high quality, offering full series of some good shows the video itself wasn't that great. I found I had to put up with quite a bit of blockiness especially compared to the iPlayer. No high definition content is available at the current time, but let’s hope that comes online in the future.
