Ok, I have a Brizzly Invite Code URL. Good for the first 10 people to click it and sign up for a beta Brizzly account. You get a 10 code invite URL once you sign up.

Once their gone, their gone and kill the link and announce invites are closed!

The 10 Invites and all 10 email invites are GONE.

Hope everyone enjoyed the invites. By now, Brizzly invites are pretty easy to come by.

Well, five days after submitting my Clicker beta invite was received today!  This is a quickie update on the new Clicker complete guide to Internet Television.

Sign up was quick and easy. Interface is much simpler than Hulu or Fancast.  Site speed is nice and quick.  I really liked the play list feature with the “watched vs. not watched” flags! Makes it super simple to see what you’ve yet to watch. The volume of shows is pretty expansive and looks like they are in the works to add more.

When watching a show, Clicker takes you directly to the web site the show lives at and plays it there.  Which pops open a new tab on FireFox and the show begins. This is not bad considering Clicker makes it super easy to find your fav shows by genre and see at a glance what needs watched. Clicker looks like it will save some serious surfing time and open up new doors for additional, unheard of Internet TV shows out there.

Stay tuned, more Clicker details to come in a few days!

Found a cool little site that provides some good information on port forwarding with your Windows Home Server.  These are particularly good if you have a router that does not have UPnP or is not enabled.

There are also settings listed for RDP and FireFly and FirePlay. Add this thread to your bookmarks.
