In particular, they mentioned a couple thing you might find interesting:
My Videos: All our personal Windows Media files streamed flawlessly, but the bigger things to point out are these two…
- DivX and Xvid did NOT play
- 720p High Def Windows Media video (Friday Night Lights and Robots, downloaded from WMVHD.com) DID PLAY, and looked spectacular.

This was perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the entire evening.
They have plenty of screenshots, so check it out.
