Zune and Media Center

ChrisL, CableCARD Recordings On Zune? Why The Answer Is No.

Forget CableCARD, has anyone asked why they can’t watch DVR-MS on their Zune?

Redfin is hiring SDEs, SDETs, Agents, Etc.

I know this isn’t Media Center related but a lot of you work in the tech business and maybe you’re looking for a opportunity at a rapidly growing fun startup in the Seattle / Bay Area. If that’s the case we, Redfin, have a surprising amount of open head count right now. Check out our jobs page. We’re looking for everything from engineers (SDEs) to kick ass test engineers (SDETs) to agents.

If you’re curious about what it’d be like to work here I’m always happy to go for a drink and let you know how it’s worked out for me (just ping me at mail *at* mattgoyer.com).

SoftSled

Chris Lanier, No Streaming CableCARD Content to Other Windows PC’s:

Microsoft has decided to skip that side of the market (with some Microsoft employees not even knowing it’s been a wanted feature for the past four years) it doesn’t look very hopeful that it will be an addition to the platform anytime soon.

The eHome group and its management are well aware of the demand for SoftSled.

Vista RTM

Congratulations to everyone on the Media Center team for RTM’ing last week!

I have to admit that I was really hoping we’d RTM in August (as was originally planned) so that I could partake in the RTM glow and celebrations before moving on to my new opportunity. But then the date slipped and I wasn’t going to stick around any longer than necessary after I got my bonus :).

Black album art

Chris, Internet Explorer 7 Overwriting Album Art with Black JPEGs?

I don’t know if it’s IE 7, but on my Vista box some albums have black cover art no matter how hard I try to set it to set it to something else.
