    Ooops! What happened to this page?

    We’ve moved some things around.

    The page you are looking for may have a new location, or is no longer available. You might want to:



    Anyone have any idea what the correct page is?

    Don't know what the page is but I can recommend TVersity (google it) as a far superior media center for the xbox. Might not be as glossly but much quicker, will play far more video and audio files and it's free... oh yeah, the best bit is it's simple to install and use.

    Just open the .exe file and it pretty much does everything else for you. Also has great support forums. Been using it for 3+ years and find it brilliant. Enjoy...

    What version of Windows are you using?

    You should only need to download the setup software if you are on XP; if you're using Vista or Win7, I think it's included out of the box.

    I set up an extender a couple of months ago on Win7 and didn't have to download anything, just enter the 8-digit code that the extender gave me when I walked through the setup process.

    And not to spin the thread too far off topic, but while third-party solutions like TVersity might do a good job of streaming Internet and local video, they don't integrate cleanly with your main Media Center system for watching and scheduling recorded TV, interacting with the TV guide etc, which is what I imagine most people use Media Center for in the first place.
