I'll have to try that out. Looks like they use about twice as high a bitrate as CinemaNow; hopefully a higher resolution too. Still no surround-sound though. Unfortunately, it looks like it is only available for those with Windows Media Center. Fortunately for me, I have Vista Ultimate, but most people don't have Media Center.
