Programming for 360 MCX

New MSDN article, Development Considerations for Windows Media Center Extender for Xbox 360 .

It describes how to use the Xbox 360 console as a Windows Media Center Extender and discusses the considerations for Media Center developers who want to support it in their Media Center hosted HTML applications.

I see the average rating for the article is 3 out of 9. For people who rated it poorly, what would you like to improve about the article?

Channel Browser

I know that some of you are struggling to get your tuners working with the February CTP. If that’s the unfortunate case you likely haven’t seen one of the new features we added; the Channel Browser. If you have, while watching TV try hitting the up or down arrows on your keyboard / remote.

What it enables you to do is discretely browse what’s on and what’s on next while you’re watching either live TV or a recorded TV show.

This may sound odd, but I will never use this feature because I never ‘channel surf’ or watch live tv anymore. But if you do I think this feature is a great addition to our TV experience.
