I know little about IPTV other than I figure it's Television over the Internet. Heh.

我对IPTV知之甚少，除了我认为这是互联网电视。 嘿。

Announced earlier this month was Microsoft Media Room, an update to Microsoft's IPTV platform. Long Zheng (fantastic blog) had the scoop four weeks ago when he noticed Microsoft trademarking it in Australia.

本月早些时候宣布的是Microsoft Media Room ，它是Microsoft IPTV平台的更新。 龙征(神奇的博客)在四个星期前注意到了微软，并将其商标注册在澳大利亚。

I'd personally really like to see Microsoft get this right. Remember UltimateTV? Microsoft's also been talking to Comcast (my provider) about Microsoft's Foundation software for a while.

我个人非常希望看到Microsoft做到这一点。 还记得UltimateTV吗？ 微软还一直在与康卡斯特(我的提供商)谈论微软的Foundation软件。

There's rumor around that say that Microsoft's Foundation software will run on the craptaculous Comcast Motorola 3412 DVR. There's also word that Tivo's software can run on that Motorola 3412 as well. Either why, I needs me an upgrade.

有传言称，微软的Foundation软件将在功能强大的Comcast Motorola 3412 DVR上运行。 也有传言说Tivo的软件也可以在Motorola 3412上运行。 不管为什么，我需要我升级。

You can find a gallery of images of the Xbox 360 IPTV interface over at Engadget. It'd be interesting if someone put together a matrix of all the IPTV options out there so we could get an idea of what our choices are going to be in the future. There's already a lot of XBoxes out there, and I'm unclear as to what software will be running on what box. 

您可以在Engadget上找到Xbox 360 IPTV界面的图像库。 如果有人将所有IPTV选项汇总在一起的矩阵，这将很有趣，这样我们就可以了解将来我们的选择将会是什么。 已经有很多XBoxes了，我不清楚什么软件将在哪个盒子上运行。

For example, I have a Motorola DVR from Comcast, and an Xbox 360. I don't think this is an unusual scenario. I have Verizon FIOS for my Internet. IPTV comes out, now what? Do I run it on my Comcast DVR? Maybe not, perhaps I cancel with Comcast, and Verizon sends me a new set top box. Or, do I use the Xbox 360? If I want IPTV in another room do I go buy another Xbox?

例如，我有一个来自Comcast的Motorola DVR和一个Xbox360。我不认为这是不寻常的情况。 我的互联网拥有Verizon FIOS。 IPTV问世，现在呢？ 我可以在康卡斯特DVR上运行它吗？ 也许不是，也许我取消了Comcast，Verizon向我发送了一个新的机顶盒。 或者，我使用Xbox 360吗？ 如果我想在另一个房间里使用IPTV，我可以去买另一个Xbox吗？

I'd love for the XBox360 to take on this role. If you've never seen the Media blade with in the 360 or watched a download HD movie on it, you're missing quite a treat. The experience is butter. Truly. Even better is the Media Center integration on the Xbox.

我希望XBox360能够担当这个角色。 如果您从未见过360中带有Media刀片式服务器，或者从未观看过其中的高清电影下载，那么您将错过很多乐趣。 经验是黄油。 真的更好的是Xbox上的Media Center集成。

The problem with all this isn't a problem my Mom will have. She'll get one box from her television provider and it'll work. No Problem.

这一切的问题不是我妈妈会遇到的问题。 她将从电视提供者那里得到一个盒子，它可以工作。 没问题。

It's me (I?) who will have problems. I just want to watch TV. How will I choose?

会有问题的是我(I？)。 我只想看电视。 我该如何选择？

Hardware	Software	Transport	Notes
Motorola 3412	Poo	Coax Cable	It current sucks so bad that it's personally embarrassing for me, and I had nothing to do with it's development. But, the hardware is out there. Whose software will unleash it?
Xbox 360	Microsoft	IP	Has fantastic potential and I already have the box. Who will offer the service though?
Microsoft Media Center	Microsoft	Coax or possibly IP	Media Center could potentially support IP TV. For Coax or over-the-air-HD it's great, but they are expensive and the hardware is often loud.
XBox 360 to a Media Center	Microsoft	RDP	I can remote into a Media Center from my Xbox.
Tivo	Tivo	Coax (so far)	Everyone loves their Tivo, and they "nearly had IPTV" two years ago. Still, their software could run on Motorola's hardware and be distributed through cable.
AppleTV	Apple	IP (via iTunes)	Video quality was initially quite poor, but more and more offerings are available at at least SDTV resolutions. This will no doubt get better.
Front Row	Apple	IP	Apple's Media Center software. Doesn't support "TV" only iTunes.
OpenSource	OpenSource	Coax/IP	There's lots of great open source Media Center Software for folks with TV Cards
DemocracyTV	Non-Profit	IP	Video Podcasting Client and much much more. Has some good HD content.

硬件	软件	运输	笔记
摩托罗拉3412	便便	同轴电缆	目前的情况太糟糕了，以至于我个人都感到尴尬，而我与它的发展无关。 但是，硬件在那里。 谁的软件可以释放它？
Xbox 360	微软	知识产权	具有巨大的潜力，我已经拥有了盒子。 谁将提供服务？
微软媒体中心	微软	同轴电缆或可能的IP	Media Center可能支持IP电视。 对于同轴电缆或无线高清，这很棒，但是它们很昂贵，并且硬件通常很响。
XBox 360到媒体中心	微软	RDP	我可以从Xbox远程访问Media Center。
蒂沃	蒂沃	同轴电缆(到目前为止)	每个人都喜欢他们的Tivo，两年前他们“差点拥有IPTV ”。 尽管如此，他们的软件仍可以在摩托罗拉的硬件上运行，并可以通过电缆进行分发。
苹果电视	苹果	IP(通过iTunes)	最初的视频质量很差，但是至少在SDTV分辨率下，越来越多的产品可用。 这无疑会变得更好。
前排	苹果	知识产权	Apple的Media Center软件。 不仅支持“电视” iTunes。
开源	开源	同轴/ IP	拥有电视卡的人们有很多很棒的开源媒体中心软件
民主电视	非营利	知识产权	视频播客客户端等。 具有一些良好的高清内容。

Either way, do head over to http://www.microsoftmediaroom.com and http://www.microsoft.com/tv and check it out. Click on Find Your Local Provider and you'll get a list of the providers that can offer Media Room today. Note AT&T U-verse is listed for the US. I've never heard of this service, and their ordering site is down, so I can't see if it's available in my area.

无论哪种方式，请直接访问http://www.microsoftmediaroom.com和http://www.microsoft.com/tv并进行检查。 单击“查找本地提供商”，您将获得今天可以提供Media Room的提供商列表。 注意AT＆T U-verse在美国列出。 我从来没有听说过这项服务，他们的订购站点已关闭，所以我看不到该区域是否可用。
