Multiple instances of WMP
I've recently discovered that with a simple tweak, I am able to run multiple instances of WMP. WMP can't normally play copy protected content UNLESS it was recorded on the same machine. Thinking back to the sports bar plugin, his application was able to launch multiple WMP objects and it interfaced with WMP but I'm not sure he realized you can play protected content in WMP as long as it was recorded on the same machine. HDHR content can be viewed live in WMP as well. Does anyone see any use for something like this?

Would be good for watching several channels at the same time.
What is the tweak?

Here is a link about what it does http://www.lukepaynesoftware.com/webart ... Player.pdf You can download an exe from lukepayne software that makes the change for you. I tried to see if WMC could be modified into the same way but it can't.
