The love-in between Microsoft and Foxtel – which previously brought us the Foxtel on Xbox announcement plus the live telecast of Microsoft’s E3 keynote on Fox8 – has just been reaffirmed, with Foxtel launching a TV Guide gadget for Windows PCs.
The gadget, which was co-developed by Microsoft and Foxtel, uses Silverlight to give you complete access to the Foxtel EPG, including the ability to set reminders and remote record events up to two weeks in advance for your iQ or iQ2.
At the moment there’s no Mac version of the downloadable app, but Foxtel say they expect to launch one in the coming weeks.
