Other Info
HDMI audio/video out to Yamaha RX-V1065 receiver.
All controlled by a Harmony One universal remote.
Four other home built computers plus a Mac Mini, but this is my main Win7 testbed.
International distribution restrictions. It's the same reason we in the States can't watch streaming BBC programming. The content provider has different distribution dates/methods/partners for different countries so Microsoft can't provide the same feeds to everyone.
It's possible they will work out deals later on to provide similar stuff for other countries.
i have tried hotspot shield in the past which allowed me to watch Hulu (is that it?) but it wont work anymore in media centre, i guess they found out about it and have done something to the code.
