We’re back for our 70th this week and it was a great show. Those who joined us live know that it wasn’t an easy week but luckily things fell into place and we were able to get it out to you guys on time.
As always thanks for the emails and voice mails. We always enjoy them!
All in all, it was the week of software. Josh and I take time to cover several topics this week including fixes that were issued for Media Center which will hopefully make some people happy. First is KB981129 which addresses the network tuner deadlock issue and KB981130 which will hopefully take care of the low bitrate issue that some folks were having with analog broadcasts.
Remote Potato will now stream your recorded TV shows for you so be sure and go grab that update. That’s not the only updated app though as Big Screen by Remote just got one as well. No streaming added but it’s being touted as a big one.
We also quickly run through the My Movies iPhone app and the new Kylo HTPC web browser. With features like pan and zoom, on screen keyboard, and larger, more readable fonts, you may want to take a look if you’re interested in surfing the web on your TV.

Should add, the use cases in my house for a browser:
There are often 'have you seen this' videos that someone in the family has heard about. Crowding around a computer screen is lame when you already have a computer attached to your big screen TV.
Second case happened the other day: We went to watch a recorded show and realized we somehow missed the last episode. It was from a few weeks ago and either didn't record or fell off as a scheduled delete. We went to Hulu but it is only available on the CW site so we watched it streaming from there on the TV.
Kylo is pretty cool. Doesn't work your standard remote though. I made a video but the sound is a little low: http://techlifeweb.com/?p=8059
Also, re: the person with questions of Hulu v. Netflix, Silverlight does a much better job doing on the fly quality adjustments based on your bandwidth than Flash does.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!…
