7MC new Internet TV with wait for it…. Flash!

I’ve just installed the new update for Internet TV which has replaced Internet TV beta 2 in Windows 7 Media Center and it’s a brand new UI and looks pretty slick, one massive surprise is that I was prompted to install an additional update for flash support inside Media Center, I’m still in shock lol and very excited I never expected to ever see native Flash support in Media Center.

That’s the good news the bad news is that Internet TV is now locked down again and cannot be accessed by any old region as was the case with Internet TV beta 2 on the RTM.

  7. You should be prompted inside of MCE to install the flash update the first time you try to play content from Internet TV that requires it.

  9. Where are you? Is your locale set to US in control panel? If it's set to UK for example you will not get the Internet TV icon but just the Sky Player icon. If you are still having issues head over to the Green Button forums and do a search or post a question.

  10. I'm in San Diego, but when I installed Windows 7, the locator feature put me in Mexico... I've already changed the option in Control Panel, but still nothing... Is it anything I can do? or I have to install W7 again...

  11. Go in to the Media Center settings -> General -> Automatic Download Options -> Click the Download now button do this a few times and the Internet TV icon should appear eventually.
