• Important: RSS Readers Take Note

  Hey guys, doing some summer cleaning here on The Green Button RSS feed.  Because of this, I ask that you re-subscribe using this RSS feed so I can have a single unified feed for both my blog at msmvps.com and here at The Green Button.  This helps out for me to ensure everyone gets updated feeds and post edits ASAP without me editing and reposting updates to two sources. I plan to cut off this current feed at the end of the month, so I will be reminding you weekly to re-subscribe using this RSS feed! I know there are a few of you who have not re-subscribed!  This feed will be turned off on September 12, 2007. Posted Sep 08 2007, 03:39 PM by Chris - Moderator with no comments

• Details on the New Internet TV Plug-in for Media Center

  Engadget got some additional details on the new Internet TV plug-in that Microsoft will launch later this month.  This is a great move for Microsoft.  One of the advantages of Media Center is the ability to bring video content from different sources.  The problem has been that several of the companies currently providing on demand content are charging for it and most have been less than successful in my view. The Internet TV plug-in will provide ad supported content (from major providers I assume), but will only be available in the US. The categories shown on the beta plug-in include Sports, Entertainment, News, Top Picks, Music and Movies.  See the gallery at Engadget for a few more photos. Stick around because later this month more details will be announced at DigitalLife in New York City.
