System, Media, Games, and Xbox Live. remember, this works only on the main screens not on the sub-screens bellow them... :happy: :p :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Live Veteran Posted May 20, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2005 They should be clear: You do NOT need a Media Center PC to play music and view pictures from your computer. Any Windows XP computer with Windows Media Connect (ie. WMP 10) will work. It's unknown if you'll be able to stream Videos in the same way... I sure hope so. The Media Center Extender offers additional functionality, letting you experience the full Media Center interface including watching TV and using DVR functions (just like the Xbox 1 with MCX kit, or any other MCX device).
