So would there be an initial "sign up" and then from then on it remembers? For example, with Netflix, I don't have to enter information each time, I only did it once. Is the "register" example how they accomplished this do you think?
I see you wrote the XM application, how do you handle the user login each time (I just added it to my Roku, but it takes 24 hours or so to show up), you must save information somewhere that is later accessed by your application?
I'm printing out the DeviceRegistrationAndLinking.pdf now, thanks for the pointer.

Yes, in the case of linking, you would store some unique identifier in the registry, and use that to communicate with your server. In the case of capturing username and password, you would store that in the registry.
BTW, there's no need to wait 24 hours after adding a channel. Just enter and exit the channel store, and that will force a download.
