Tried this on Windows 7 HP and could not get the channels using the above guide. I was trying with a Sky RF2 Outlet (Ch. 68, power enabled) I am only 10ft from the Sky box !!

Tried it and did not get the TV Guide option after the update. It would appear this is country dependent and more than likely for the US market. The only TV option I got was for a tuner.

That thread indicates the Sky Player for Media Center will be available here tomorrow 27th October. I was expecting the player to be available on the Xbox 360 tomorrow but thought the Media Center plugin would be a little later in coming as Sky had mentioned they were still tweaking it. Will check tomorrow.

I came across this helpful blog post on various Internet TV options for Media Center. Most options are US only or UK only but some will be of relevance (would be interested to hear experiences from anyone who has used them before taking a trial and error approach). Hopefully it will only be a matter of time before more options are available here. I wonder how the likes of UPC and Eircom will approach the likely upswing in bandwidth consumption?

Yes, though have played more with it since then, sometimes just changing the region in control panel and updating gets the additional features, not always though.
