Hi there
the blog seems to miss the MOST ESSENTIAL piece of information.
Before you start any of this you need to download and install the SKY player.
This will then ask you for your sky viewing card number.
Then Windows Media center works fine as I've posted in my previous post -- without you having to do ANYTHING.
I've even changed the Locale to Iceland (for currency etc -) -- so long as I'm logged on to a UK SERVER or PROXY it works fine -- you can even switch your Windows to RUSSIAN if you want. It's downloading / installing the SKY player and running from a UK address that's the critical piece.
You don't need any registry hacks for the sky player to work in Windows Media center -- just a valid SKY subscription and a UK IP address. - It would even work if you were located on planet MARS so long as the server IP had a UK address - 213.XX, 212.xx, 87.xx are the most common UK ISP prefixes.
Cheers
