We've just completed phase one of a two-part update to dnrtv.com. New features include a real archives page with all shows listed all at once, a new HTTP feed for the zip file, feeds are now data driven like the rest of the pwop shows, and we moved it to a new faster server.

You'll notice the Silverlight button. Right now it's just a button that does nothing. That brings me to phase two, which will include a "watch now with Silverlight" feature, an MP3 download and feeds, and a WMV download and feeds. We're also looking into the feasability of doing an MP4 version for iPods. Hey, if you can read that tiny font, more power to you.

In the meantime, please continue to enjoy dnrTV, and keep those great comments coming!
