only two ingredients are necessary to cook up a fabulous xbox 360 media Center Extender. Got an xbox 360? Got a PC running media Center 2005? Toss in a pinch of WiFi connectivity and Viola! Your xbox 360 just turned into the main course in your Home Theater system.
Doesn't get much easier than that!
And you thought all you could do was play games! Why not watch movies, view your recorded TV shows, and enjoy your downloaded music collection, all from the same little silver box that serves up hours of gaming goodness?
The xbox 360 media Center Extender connects directly with your PC either wirelessly (54MB/s 802.11g) or with a 100MB/s ethernet cable. For serious video streaming, I'd recommend using the hardwired ethernet option. Especially if you have multiple WiFi devices in your house, such as laptops.
If you purchased the xbox 360 "Fully Loaded" package, you've already got the dedicated remote complete with a "green button" for controlling the Xbox 360 media center extender functions. The media center interface should look familiar. It's the exact replica of your MCE menu. This makes for easy navigation and total control of your console. All your familiar menu choices are available through the Xbox media center extender such as My TV, My Music, etc. In fact, it's hard to tell you're not in front of your media Center PC!
Even if you don't have a media Center PC, you can enjoy some of the benefits of the built in xbox media center functionality. You can use the included media player to stream music and photos from any PC that's running Windows XP.
