UK MSN Video Player

Hi, Just done a fresh Win7 reinstall & I am finding no content within MSN Video Player- it lists series but then no programmes within the series. It does have Heat magazine style fluff videos listed under Entertainment....
Is this an issue with my HTPC or is Microsoft pulling the plug on MSN BBC content??

Just looked and I only see 100 ~1 minute long videos under Entertainment as well. It could be a fault. It could be MS pulling the MSN Video Player. Neither would surprise me. Although a good technical implementation, it's never had content added since it was launched.

Just checked again- they have moved all the "channels" except Entertainment. Of course the average MCE enthusiast- probably male/middle age- can't get enough of Justin Bieber etc, LOL.

More seriously it shows the direction of MCE compared to Xbox and its always being updated offerings....

This has been the case for quite some time now and shouldn't really come as a surprise.
