Watching Live TV between Media Center PCs "Lance Wynn" <Lance_Wynn[ at ]community.nospam> 12/30/2008 5:01:42 AM Hi all, I have 2 Vista Ultimate machines, and an Xbox 360 and I have been tinkering with Media Center. I have a cheap little usb hd antenna connected to machine "a" and I setup the Xbox extender to look at "a" and I can get the guide, watch live TV, etc from the Xbox. Now I want to do the same thing from the second machine "b", but I cannot figure out if it can be done, or how. Is it possible to have one MCE act as an extender for the live tv signal from the second machine? If ss, can someone point me to a tutorial, or some docs? Thanks Lance

If you want to switch, you will have to break the connection between machine a, and create a new connection with b. -- Jason Tsang - Microsoft MVP Read my blog for the latest in Media Center topics (and other topics that interest me) http://blog.jasontsang.ca More information by me http://jtsang.mvps.org http://www.classicsunveiled.com Find out about the MS MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx "Lance Wynn" <Lance_Wynn[ at ]community.nospam> wrote in message news:OX8B2ujaJHA.1188[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...
