This video shows just A DIAMOND OF MS PRINCIPLE, especially at 3:00 !!!! WTF!: "68 pages EULA, that is recommended to SKIP; Send usage stats, set to YES; MCE REQUIRED to be connected to internet for EPG(WHY?!); ZIP code entering(WHAT FOR?)" Gates dream is not a advanced world, but a ADVANCED corporation, knowing of everyone and all, owning all and making others work to keep it alive!! THERE IS A FREE ALTERNATIVE AT team-mediaportal[DOT]com; NO EULA,NO SPYIES,NO RESTRICTIONS!!!

You dumb ass. EPG ... ( 9 months ago by vipes2003)

You dumb ass. EPG is your program guide which changes every week since the broadcasters air different shows and such. MCE fetches this information over the internet (just like Media Portal does), and requires your ZIP code so that it can present to you the tv listings in your area, since if you lived in San Fransisco you probably wouldn't have The Boston Channel 5 listed.

Well, thanks for ... ( 9 months ago by lin545)

Well, thanks for naming yourself. I will refer to you as "dumb ass". One of my principles is not to talk to idiots, but I'll make one exception for you. I am a telecommunication specialist and EPG is NOT sent over Internet, but is interleaved into the channel as teletext is, and is available on both DVT-T(terristic) and -S(satellite) broadcastings. So all necessary changes are always actual and there is even some form of interactivity made with it(like teletext chat).

To conclude the ... ( 9 months ago by lin545)

To conclude the whole thing, not does MS know your ZIP, but it also has a possibility to send a report on ALL media you have or played to "unknown" location, covering it as a EPG update. And if you still uncertain on MS policy, try to backup a CSS-encrypted(most of them) DVD on your Vista software.

Sorry, but Media ... ( 9 months ago by vipes2003)

Sorry, but Media Center and other PC based PVR software, downloads its EPG data from an internet feed, and uses your ZIP code to track down what sat/cable tv listings are in your area. It is unable to get the listings from using your cable line. If it was as simple as getting the EPG data from the cable line, than we wouldn't require so many different EPG plugins for MediaPortal.
