Is there a plugin or something out there that can play the fox shows in the WMC? Checkout fox http://www.fox.com/fod/index.htm

Thanks

I would like that too...

 Agreed.  The quality of the Fox streaming is also the best I've seen.

I use Zinc. I created an entry point using MC Menu Mender and set it to close the currently playing media, and to close the application and return to Media Center when I press CTL-F1 (or something along those lines), then mapped that keystroke to a button on my remote (you have to use the back button in Zinc to navigate)

 The Boxee plugin for WMC plays Fox shows. Of course it exits and rejoins Media Center to load/unload Boxee but at least the MC remote works with it.

A lot of FOX programming is on Hulu, and the Hulu desktop app integates into Media Center pretty well using Media Center Studio.

 This looks awesome.  I'll have to try it out this evening.  Does this just aggregate the content and then go to the original source/player to get the stream?  Is the quality the same?

Hulu?

Hulu uses it's own player...  I think it is flash based. It has different levels of quality that you can select in your preferences.  You can watch something through the web page too, so you can check the quality yourself.  But the desktop app can use the Media Center remote, so it works pretty good once you get used to the navagation.

Sorry, forgot to quote.  I meant Zinc.  But concerning Hulu, I guess then the Hulu stream is lower quality than the actual Fox stream.  I watched some of 24 from Fox and it was much higher quality than Hulu.  Actually the best I've seen online.

Zinc - aggregates then opens a firefox page fullscreen to the actual website, and automatically sets the video to fullscreen. I have Zinc, Boxee, and Hulu desktop integrated into MC and almost exclusively use the Zinc application.

Thanks.  That's what I was hoping to hear.
