Why should I download videos from Channel9?

- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.

Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).

Right click “Save as…”

MSN Remote Record Service, which lets you use your Media Center PC remotely. This video was recorded on Microsoft's Silicon Valley campus.

Letting multiple people access one pc is great, even if it’s just for scheduling
Why can't the api's be made for MCE 2004, that’s the one I have (because MS wont let me upgrade)
Messenger 7 and WMP 10 can display next to a buddy name what they are listening to, I would like to see a list of the programmes that I and others on my list are going to record/watch. then I could click a request button from my buddy which would add their program to my list and record it, or put it in the longhorn P2P queue so when they have recorded it I can simply request a transfer of it ?
And what’s all this jivin' about a no can do for remote streaming from the home PC, it can be done today right?! well I'll be expecting it in Longhorn then, or soon after.
We need to unique urls for shows (the same way that IMDB urls can be used to identify movies), so they can be exchanged in email or webpages, in addition to getting recorded remotely...
Finally, MSN Remote Record only works on Media Center PCs in the United States and Canada. The possibility exists for MSN Remote Record to be available for use in other countries eventually. (For good news about Media Center in other markets, see Availability of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Will Expand to 20 Additional Markets Worldwide.)
However, I think there is hope for Austrlian users, if MS continues down this path. The Australian TV channel 9 has a strong partnership with MS. Hence the website ">http://ninemsn.com.au/">http://ninemsn.com.au/.
On this site you can also watch the latest news recordings and spot TV specials. ">http://ninemsn.com.au/"> http://ninemsn.video.msn.com/video/p.htm?mkt=en-au&&rf=http://ninemsn.com.au/
So, there shouldn't be much of a problem making this feature work in Australia
Now can we have it in the UK

The guy does have vision though - with allowing any phone to allow remote record. Maybe something simple like a text message to a specific number (like text messaging Googl to get information) could allow you to schedule a program as well...it would work across all phones too!
It would also be nice to allow/add in Audio downloads from the various audio download sites because most people with the setup may wish to get comfortable in the living room and just play some background audio (and download at the same time from Napster, Walmart.com, or whomever).
Orb are allowing users for free to stream their saved TV shows, or any other media files including music I beleive remotely. So how come this kind of functionality which should be in MSN Messenger is not, nothing I would like more than to use the Wi-Fi on my handheld to grab a pre-recorded programme on the train back from home.
