I just got my Beta invite today, and I am VERY impressed. I do have one issue and one suggestion...
Issue: On my Karminc 64bit installations, none of the Network streams seem to work. When I have the option of ABC/Fox/NBC or Hulu, I MUST pick Hulu. ABC just gets stuck with a looping progress bar. NBC just gets stuck with a Peacock "progress" bar. Fox goes to a white screen, from which there is no coming back from, other than ssh into the machine and rebooting.
On my Windows 7 & Vista installations, similar problems, though better failing. NBC works! ABC & Fox both go to the website however, the video doesn't load because they both are asking to have their players installed. Presumably the Linux installs are running into the no player problem with ABC/Fox as well, however they aren't handling it very well...especially Fox.
Suggestion: There should be a way to load the home "quick" menu from anywhere. For me, I use an MCE remote, so ideally I would like to be able to press the "Windows" button and have that home menu pop up. I don't like having to hit menu or escape a few times before I finally get it.
