I wanted to share this cool add-on for Windows Media Centre that lets you watch all the UK TV On-Demand services through media centre. This means you can navigate through the programs with your remote, with the media centre interface, from your sofa.
The application is written by a guy called Martin Millmore and is very useful. The program still has its small bugs but on the whole works very well. You can browse by channel and also group episodes of the same series together. The flashy falling of the thumbnails gets annoying but is worth the wait.
The download is small at under 700Kb and installs very quickly. Once installed it will display as an icon in media centre to the left of 'Recorded TV'. It will take a while to download the listings initially but just let it run its course. If the programs aren't displayed when you open the application (after the initial download of the listings) just go back out and then into the program again and they should load. Also note the different navigation controls of the video due to the different technologies involved such as Flash, Silverlight and Windows Media.

NB. x64 users - make sure that you copy the application folder into the 'C:\Program Files' directory due to a hard coded link.
