Originally posted by whirly Correct! That's why XBMC on a modded Xbox is prefered to this M$ Kluge. XBMC can accomodate HDTV resolutions up to 1080i and since the OS overhead is so small theXbox's 733Mhz CPU has plenty of horsepower to handle it. One other benefit is that XBMC will convert ripped PAL video to NTSC on the fly and adjust it for best fit to your TV's resolution. The Xbox has a standard 10/100Base-T NIC which transfers even Standard DVD video with no problems. |
Originally posted by FourDoor If I can trully play back my HDTV recorded shows from my HTPC in one room and play them in another room via the xbox and maintain the same resolution without any stutter, I am already sold on the media extender. Who knows, maybe the XBMC team can finally get this thing finally working after the media extender is released. |
