WebGuide is now free!

It seems that Microsoft have bought WebGuide, and decided in the process to make it freely available (see this news article).

WebGuide is a web based UI for your Windows Mediacenter PC, which also allows you to stream TV to any browser.

I've given the original WebGuide a test run, and although it certainly allowed me to stream recorded TV, I was unable to get it to stream live TV even though the documentation implies this is possible.

I wonder whether, now that MS have taken it over, there's a chance that live TV will work too?
