I am at the same place you are with no "streaming media" working. I can see
photo's and that is it. TV listings are working too, but I cannot schedule or
view any recorded content.

I also noticed that Orb does not know about "MCE2005 recorded" content. It
appears it will only know about what ORB has been told to record. WHAT IS
THE POINT OF THAT?

At least the MSN Remote beta is underway......
