http://elisa.fluendo.com/home/ is a nice product. I used it a few
months ago and it was slick but buggy but people I've talked to say
it's improving at a great rate. No DVR though, it's like MCE without a
tv card.

Which reminds me, our online shop now sells codecs such as windows
media, dvd playback and etc. There's a "basic windows compatible" an
"all except dvd" and a "dvd only" option. I wish there was one that
was all (including dvd) but oh well.

No, I'm not getting a commission on that but I do think its
interesting and I got to help out a bit with the web delivery parts.
