TunerFree MCE on a Windows 7 Netbook

Ian Dixon demos TunerFree MCE on a netbook running Windows 7.

TunerFree MCE is a Media Center application that enables streaming of TV content from the like of BBC, ITV and Hulu all to the 10 foot Windows Media Center UI, You don’t need a TV tuner just an internet connection. Martin Millmore the developer of the application will be on a future edition of The Media Center Show but I wanted to give an over view of it’s features so I installed it on my Samsung Netbook and recorded in action running under Windows 7. I am amazed how well it works even on the little NC10, I was watching live TV and stream TV shows from Media Center. UK users get BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five. US users get all the fantastic content available on Hulu.

And I was just thinking to myself if there's a need for me to get a TV tuner on my setup

Thanks Dragonfly! Will definitely give this a spin

Let me know how it works out for you.

So many plug-ins; so little time....

I tied it but it does not integrate with media player. It opens the hula website and media player is in the background doing nothing.

Edit: It does show in media player and you click on it and the above happens.

The developer has a thread going over at TheGreenButton. Development appears to be on-going, with the latest version at 2.29. I'm sure he would appreciate any feedback from the Win7 community.
