Messenger TV

This version of Messenger TV will be available in 20 countries (Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, & the UK). This represents 12 languages (Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, & Swedish).

Messenger TV looks at whatever language you have selected in your web browser, then pulls all of the navigation from http://video.msn.com for that country.

In Internet Explorer, you can select Tools, Internet Options to see your Language settings. For example, in the UK (en-gb), it looks like:

When you visit http://video.msn.com, you see a menu and sub-menu items for MSN Video, such as the following for the UK (en-gb, to be specific):

Messenger TV combines this language setting from IE with the navigation for MSN Video and creates the navigation in Messenger TV. 

This menu for MSN Video is unique to each of those 20 countries where Messenger TV is available, just like MSN Video is a unique experience for each country too. 

You can learn more about Messenger TV at http://MessengerTV.msn.com, but it will soon release to 20 countries in 12 languages. That means that it will be available in most countries where MSN Video is available. Japan and the USA are the two big countries not represented right now. You can try it out for yourself by adding the Windows Live Agent MessengerTV@live.com as a contact in Messenger and starting a conversation with it.
