More apps? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Okay, I noticed that when it comes to apps and widgets, Mediaroom can create some pretty wicked experiences. Yet, SaskTel seems to be keeping things rather plain;pretty much the only new "app" we've had lately is the MySask411 one.

Do you think maybe they need more actual experiences to show off the power of the new system?

I'm still waiting for the XBOX 360 as a STB personally.

I would definitely like to see a bit more of the MR suite to be leveraged but not sure whether its a roadmap issue, or a licensing thing

Well, something new showed up in the menu; there's now a "Top Recorded Shows" option, but its non-functional right now.

This might be interesting to see.
