There's something wrong with my Internet TV.
It shows up as "Guide" and when I go under the guide and attempt to click on any of the Internet TV shows, nothing happens. None of the shows launch. Plus, I don't see the Netflix option under the Movies section.

I manually downloaded the Media Center files and made sure both check boxes were checked.

?????????????
forgot a few...
- mount as a USB device
- flash support.
- allow apps to run in the background. At least one or two at a time.
- Adobe Air support (flash apps)
- ability to remotely sync to my home PC over wifi (miles away from home) . This feature would reduce the need to have a larger capacity ZuneHD. Imagine you have to go on a trip across country. While you're away, your home computer records one of your favorite TV shows with Windows Media Center. From your hotel, you connect to your home PC and download the recorded TV show onto your Zune. How cool would that be!!!!
I've have both the Zune 30 and Zune 80, and I was disappointed that the ZuneHD did not have an app store right out of the gate in order to compete with the iPod Touch. In many ways the ZuneHD is a superiour device but w/o an app store and SDK, the iPod still wins. Microsoft has said that the ZuneHD is first and foremost a media device and the only devices that would need apps are those that are constantly connected (aka phones). In other words, that's PR speak for the purpose of covering up their mistake of not involving the Windows Mobile team sooner so both teams could work together to have a unified app store in time for the launch of the Zune.

Until Microsoft issues an app store and an SDK, I am going to skip buying this version.

Aside from that, here is a list of things that would make the ZuneHD even cooler than it already is:

-More codec support. Either natively from the Zune device or allow the desktop software to covert more media types. Definitely the AVI video format.
- bigger screen. The OLED screen is beautiful, but the screen size is smaller than the iPod Touch.
-video/still camera. It would be poetic if the camera could take 720p "HD" video
-gps (not a must)
-64GB+ - by next year Apple will probably issue a 128GB iPod Touch, so Microsoft should issue both 64GB and 128GB models
-apps that talk to the XBOX and Media Center. Imagine a Sideshow remote control app.
-speakers (not a must)
-microphone
-ability to sort your images by tags
-audio podcasts should have the ability to skip 30 seconds like the way you can with any video
-the desktop software should have a wider play bar - like that of windows media player. When playing a video, it's extremely difficult to accurately skip to a certain part of the video
-make a mac version of the desktop software. Yeah, Apple only is 3% of the PC market but those 3% are the most vocal. Let's shut them up already that there is not Mac version.
-volume rocker - sometimes dedicated buttons are easier to control than touching a screen
Is anyone else who is a confirmed host having a hard time using the party site. The site crawls. For example, I try to invite people and the site dies on me. I try to send a message using the customer service form, and the site dies. Is there that that many people accessing the site that the site cannot handle the traffic? Or is it just me?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
