Still it does seem that gaining an MS bot encouraged them to go a DRM laden Windows only route for the online TV offering. Which seems even more strange because they broadcast an unencrypted better quality MPEG stream over the air and will continue to do this and no one seems to have a problem with that.

Vodafone is an interesting example though, you mention their MSN hookup but not their new Android phone.
