Wow, that sucks

As an avid Media center user/enthusiast this comes as a big blow for the platform. Personally it doesn't affect me as I live in Canada and don't get Direct TV. However, as heavy user and big fan of the Media Center Platform, this certainly doesn't look good. Hopefully Microsoft can come with an alternative to viewing HD content in media center. OCUR is a joke and offers nothing for the rest of the world. HD PVR support, Dishnet, freeview HD, etc. Windows 7 Media center was looking like a pretty solid release. Hopefully this announcement doesn't negate some of the positive buzz MS has generated for Seven.
