Depends on who you ask. Fiji has been refered to as a out-of-band Media Center update by eHome Team Members.

It's interesting that everyone keeps referring to Fiji as a Media Center update.

As an MVP Chris I really thought your info would be better than this.

On Campus Fiji is referred to as Vista +1 aka Service Pack 1.

That's how it's been referred to in every meeting and with every person that I have talked to, so the question really is why are you posting sensationalist headlines with bad info?

I hope its not just USA stuff yet again Chris like you state !

My understanding is that it is Europe based with MHEG support for digital interactive services on DVB-T, DVB-S support for free to air satellite.

If its just US centric again, the product will be dead in the water, may as well pull out of Europe/Australia! Its been far too long waiting for these features as it is 2002-2007 !

Lets see a cheap STB £25 ($13) has all the functionality that is required for TV....and a PVR costing (£100) ($53) also has the inteactive components.....

I hope the centre in Eire wasn't setup for nothing, as theyve supposed to be working on all this !

Well ***.

I really want to get a vista cable card box, but I'm pissed off at comcast and would like fire their skanky, crappy dvr, next to no HD, high priced, asses.

What I want though is have one, count them ONE box, and a couple front ends, and god dammit, to be able CHOOSE my provider. *sigh* I was really hopping that I could have a choice (without buying a new box every frigging time) between comcast/Dish/DTV... hell maybe even some of the IPTV players (do they support cable cards yet?) Man that would make me the worlds happiest consumer but I guess it's just not in the cards any time soon.

That fact that this situation exists at all shows a total and utter failure of both free market principals and regulatory bodies. There are just enough regulations to break any hope of new competition and not enough to force a market divide. And of course no support for consumer to have control or say so in their own homes anywhere to be seen. Goddam embarrassment.

It just boggles my mind that this situation exists at all and shows among other things a real failure in the technological invocation department but clear that is because of the the closed nature of all the systems... still it seems like somebody should be cranking out a solution in asia that we could import :p.

Bah. Back to waiting endlessly.
