I guess I'm saying that BM will be more appealling to lazy people and those with limited PC skills.

Beyond TV has a great interface out of the box and is quick and easy to setup. If all the modules in Beyond Media (and Beyond TV) integrate seamlessly, quickly and "nicely" then I'll be a happy bunny! I can't wait to see the beta.

(Once BM is released, presumably the guys at SS will be hard at work on a UK EPG? Please!!!)
pukka,

To each their own .. but .. it setup/installation just does NOT get ANY easier then myhtpc It works immediately right out of the box, ALL you have to do is tell it what directory your movies, pictures and music is in .. you really should look at it again as your first impression is not an accurate one.
