Introducing Sports Channel for Windows Media Center

    Introducing Sports Channel for Windows Media Center


    Posted: 06 Mar 2009
    Yesterday we announced a brand new offering for Windows Media Center users: Sports Channel. Sports Channel will be offered to Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate users as a new tile under “Sports” in Windows Media Center.

    Sports Channel offers a variety of sports content from great sources CBSSports.com, Fox Sports, MSNBC.com and more. Content flowing through Sports Channel ranges from breaking sports news to interviews of your favorite players to the ability to track your fantasy sports teams.

    Sports Channel is a great example of our continued investment in providing new and easier ways for people to find and access compelling content through Windows Media Center.

    Instead of going through my own experience with Sports Channel, I’d like to call out Ian Dixon’s overview of Sports Channel here and Stuart’s screenshots of the Sports Channel experience here from The Digital Lifestyle.com (one of the best Windows Media Center sites on the web today).

    For the best experience with Sports Channel in Windows Media Center, a broadband connection is highly recommended. Today, Sports Channel is currently available in the U.S. only.

    I also recommend checking out MSNBC News in Windows Media Center (which I blogged about last October) – which is no longer in beta.

    The Sports Channel sounds nice. They can take MSNBC news and stick it though lol.
    I use to use Media Center a lot with my Xbox 360.
    But now I use TVersity to watch all my movies and such through my 360. Works well with Win 7.
