It just changes the line up a small bit as in BBC1 NI on 101 instead of BBC London on 101.
However it lines up the channels I always do a full scan myself and line them up how I prefer them myself, It would be great if Media Center let you save the channel line up so when you do a reinstall you don't have to line them up again.

BBC HD is on preview ? Its not broadcasting fully ?

It doesn't have shows on 24/7,They start in the afternoon and run till after 12.
It has a great line up today 3 Six Nation's games in a row.

Sky player is the only one I know works in media centre.

you could try this out, you will get a better selection than the media centre but you will need to spoof your ip for most stuff tho as its not available in ireland
you could also look into boxee which is an add on program

ive tried them both at some point but never stuck with them as i done reallly use online tv services so cant really comment on how great they are

Win 7 user, in love with Boxee. I've tried them all, but have to commend Boxee for:

-how easily it worked over network;
-how easy it is to add videos, and how it organises them (it's beautiful)
-how well it pulls metadata (posters, episode descriptions)
-how smoothly it works with pulling in other internet sources (like Sky, BBC iPlayer, 4od, etc)

Great program.
