Silverlight and WCF

I've been playing around with hooking up Silverlight 1.1 applications that speak to WCF web services.  I've been seeing tons of JSON errors when the application tries to call methods on the WCF server side.  Has anyone else noticed this or had any success hooking up to WCF services?  We've gone back to standard web services to get around this issue.

Very weird.             

***UPDATE***

Major League Baseball recently announced that they're using Silverlight 1.0 to show all the highlights of baseball games on their site.  They're also planning on moving their live streaming of games from their current setup to a pure Silverlight system.

This is a pretty neat announcement and shows the belief that companies have in the technology and the benefits that you can expect.  Expect more of the same from other players soon!
