but sadly this too ends in failure (for the moment).




Background:
I'm still working away on posts for Windows Media Center and today (12/24/10) I started fresh on a new post to document some of the screens when up pops a new display (new to me anyway) regarding  internet tv. Lots of new channels I hadn't seen before on the EPG.





So I decided to push it a bit to see where it went and I get to the next step ...



my pulse picks up a bit and I push ahead



.. Those Andorians!  How did such hot-heads get painted blue?  - but I digress ..



Yes!  give me the add-in! I'm going to watch Internet TV! 



BASTIDS!  You Cork Suckers!  I feel so disenfranchised I could bloody spit! 

Guess I need to look at VPN's now unless you've got any easier  ideas.

thanks in advance - sorry if this is old news.

The other thing is to make sure you tell people how to see the Internet TV option. It's not on by default, and it relies on your Locale settings to show or hide it.

Check your Location and Language settings in Control Panel. Is it New Zealand or United States?

Thanks Mauricio - my "Region and Language" formats and locations were still set to "United States" - probably from my last attempt to get "NetFlix" -- on to the VPN!
