Hi,

From what I have seen of Media Centre edition, the accessability for the
media centre apps won't be grate - it is very like doing stuff on a home
cinema system.

Everything was connected via tuner cards etc, the guy I saw didn't use
Sky so not sure how easy it would be to hook up to the system either.

To be honest I would stick with XP.

Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] Media Center again

Hi all.

Is there any list member who has upgraded to the XP Media Centre
edition,
and has their computer attached to their Hi-Fi and or TV, and who are
able
to watch SKY on their computer.  If so, I'd love to hear from them.

I'm thinking of purchasing a new computer later this year and would like
to
go for the Media Centre, in order to connect my TV and Hi-Fi to my
computer.
I'd really love to have SKY in there, so that I can copy some of the
Audio
described programmes which are being shown.

I note that the SKY Broadband service has serious accessibility issues
but
was wandering if it was possible, perhaps with a specialised TV Tuner
Card,
to access SKY on my computer.

Best wishes.

Andy
