"Public Beta of the MSN Remote Record Service. This service enables users running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to remotely schedule TV shows to record on their Media Center Edition-based PCs. Note: This beta is for US and Canada MCE users only. To officially join the MSN Remote Record Service Beta, here are the instructions to sign up via Beta Place..."
If you're an MCE user, this is good news - I have to admit though that I'm rather skeptical of how well this will work with MSN involved. When I think of MSN, I think of slightly dysfunctional, confusing Web pages with far too many advertisements. By way of contrast, SnapStream has an awesome solution in place that lets me log into an ad-free server and program in all the shows I want - for free. And I can even do it from my Pocket PC or Smartphone! MSN has a high bar to reach. :D
