    A Few Simple 7MC Requests

    Microsoft: My family recently pulled the plug and now use 7MC almost exclusively for our TV usage and I have to say that so far we love it more than cable. Once you start looking around the net for video podcasts, etc., there really is more to chose from. But, there are a couple of things we'd like to see in 7MC * We are beginning to watch a lot of video podcasts. It would be nice to be able to create a favorites list so that we don't have to go wondering around the Zune channel every time we are looking for a particular podcast (yes, there are ways to save it locally, etc., but we should be able to do it within 7mc). * Make it a little easier to move things around the strips. I use a 3rd party tool now, but then an update comes out and messes it all up. I just would like to at least see an easy way to move something from one strip to another. * More major networks - CBS seems to be the only one. Seeing NBC is such a close partner I'm surprised you can't at least get them on board. I know, Hulu and Boxee and others are out there, but I don't like their UI's as much. Thanks in advance.

    I would love to see this as well. For now, I use Miro to download many of my favorite Podcasts which are sorted into their separate folder structures. The filenames and metadata are not the best but it makes it very easy to keep up with your favorites.

    I know there are ways to get around it including using Zune to download them, but I still think there should be a way from Media Center to create favorite lists - it would be great if you could create multiple lists for each person.

    It's not native support, but MediaBroswer has great support for podcasts and vodcasts.

    What I would really, really like:

    1) To be able to choose to (doesn't have to be default) delete shared Recorded TV content from other Media Centers.

    It just doesn't make any sense not to since Extenders can do it.  And I know MC can easily do it because if I run a WTV file from a network share with MC it lets me delete it.

    It is frustrating to have to switch to Windows Explorer to delete shows from another PC.  It is VERY frustrating because you can't do this with a standard MC remote control.  It is annoying when I am down in my basement home theater, but it is infuriating in the kitchen where I keep the keyboard safely hidden away in a drawer.

    2) To be able to schedule programs to record on other shared Media Centers. 

    Not fancy remote internet stuff, just let me tell my primary MC with multiple tuners and 6TB of storage to record a show later, from MC on my awesome little ASRock net-top in the kitchen.  Again, my Xboxes can do this, why shouldn't my Windows 7 Pro PC do it?
