Indepth review of the Media Center Extender for XBox:

Pros:

• Inexpensive
• Infrared Receiver for those without one on the Xbox (allows playback of DVDs)
• Easy setup
• Good video and audio streaming performance
• Allows you to control the MCE PC from afar

Cons:

• Ok user interface response times
• No support for playback of non-Microsoft media formats
• Need to have DVD in drive to boot into MCX mode
• Needs MCE 2005 OS

You can now watch HBO/CGMS-A content on your extender!

• Update for HP Extenders
• Update for Linksys extenders

This update enables MCX devices to remote CGMS-A protected content (HBO, Cinemax etc.). It also fixes some audio glitching and other quality related bugs.
