..seriously, IPTV isn't all that special. why can't there be at least good Standard definition service for a dirt cheap price by now? ...oh yeah... MS wants a piece of the action, proprietary codec(s), and (probably) silly software that adds too much to a simple process...
Bingo.

The security they added is the bloat, and it uses the wga style authentication which is a real PITA.

The codecs they usually use are derivatives of the mpeg4 standard with WMV security added. It's totally not ready for prime time, It needs further review and work , but like most Ms products they use their customers as guinea pigs.
