Watch Live 'floating window'

[Couch Potato]

Watching live TV and/or a recording is pretty cool, except that there seem to be only two window sizes - the tiny window embedded within the browser, or full screen.

I noticed that I can start up Windows Media Player, and connect to mms://xxxx:8080 to watch whatever is in the browser; but I need to keep the browser window open to keep the video stream flowing, and to change channels.

It's be really cool if I could have a really small floating window with just the channel change controls along with an external WMP window..

I put in a request for that a while back, as have others. That used to be in version 2 like that where it would be able to spawn a separate window.

With version 3 using a PVR250 I have lost the ability to stream live tv, unless I use a software based encoder/tuner instead of a mpg card like pvr250.

The tradeoff is equitable in my opinion. PVR250 rules. I can just recompress to stream tv.
