  • I've only got XP Home on my PC, so I haven't used the Media Centre.

    I've only ever streamed photos and MP3's from the PC. Used a USB stick for movies.

    If and when you get the chance, check it out at your your PC store. It works really well. I just need to get it to speak to my X Box and then I shall be able to watch media from my PC on my TV :j
