Ian Dixon has scooped another interesting item for Vista Media Center. For you Brits out there and others within the sphere of influence of the BBC, BeebMC is a add-in to allow you listen to BBC radio within Vista Media Center.
According to Ian:
- You need Real Player installed
- You need version 3.5 of the .NET framework installed. It is available here if you don’t have it (or if you are not sure).
The downside it that:
- It will not work with Extenders, since the BBC streams using Real Audio.
Being from the U.S., I don’t know a lot about BBC radio. This will give me chance to find out, tho. I might even learn a thing or 2 about the other side of the ocean.

@ Kets: contact the author is about all I can suggest. Perhaps he does not have MCE 2005 to test on? Perhaps completely different code is required?
No harm in asking the author, tho.
@ everyone else: In all honesty, I do not have it installed. Yet. Perhaps next week…
