Sorry. Computer is upstairs. XBox is downstairs connected to TV and
network. XBox connects to upstairs computer to control the media center
software on upstairs computer, fetching media to show on the downstairs TV.
People make other cheap extenders, but they don't work with the Vista version.

Nope. Too busy. Might put it on one of the old machines I'll be selling off,
just to see.

KDE 4.x gives me the exact same feeling I had the one evening I worked on a
Vista workstation. Some pointy-headed designer thought it necessary that we
all change how we work, and overturned logical, established workflows-- even
took away the power of right-clicking-- in the name of progress.

Do you use Media Center, or the Dashboard?
We tried MC for a bit, but it never seemed to work right for us, so
since then we've been sticking with the Dashboard and not had any problems.

I'm not sure what the dashboard is, so I guess media center.
By "dashboard" to you mean the "share media with the xbox"? I haven't tried
that.
MC works fine for me except that it sends things to the recycler without any
way of emptying the trash *or* recovering the files. :-)

The Dashboard is what runs on the XBox when nothing else is running
(used to be the Blade system, now it's the New Xbox Experience(tm)).
Go to "My XBox", then "Video Library", and you can browse all the shared
videos on your computer.

Yeah. Hard to set up to record a new series of TV shows, tho. :-) And I
think that if you have the shared media set up, you can't use the extender,
and vice versa.

I don't know about using it as a DVR, but it's certainly possible to set
up both for use.

OK. I never tried using the dashboard version. The on-screen instructions
implied they were mutually exclusive. I'll give it a try, thanks!
