CinemaNow now available through Windows Media Center

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 23 May 2008 12:53 User comments (6)

CinemaNow has announced that its extensive library of 3500 feature length films is now available through Windows Media Center meaning you can download and watch the films without a cable TV subscription.

Windows Media Center is all that is necessary for the service to work, and most Windows XP and Vista users have it already installed. The movies are currently available through an "Online Media channel" in Windows Media Center that offers CinemaNow's movie and TV download service.

CinemaNow's library includes 3,500 major Hollywood studio and independent movies, and even some HD-quality movies. There are also over 3,000 TV episodes and over 2,900 music videos available. Now you can use Windows Media Center to easily browse the offering and even watch on your TV using a media hub if you have one.

For more information, make sure to check www.CinemaNow.com.

I know there's alot of hate out there for Microsoft, but Ballmer is the moron in charge, not Gates. Gates bowed out awhile back, and MS is worth off without him at the moment.

Is this free? If not what's the range of prices to watch a streaming or downloaded movie from them?

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
