Troubleshoot Windows Media Center

Windows media center/extender would be a good way to set it up. Or even downloading and setting up a PS3 media center. My xbox detectes those.

If you need help getting a media center set up, contact xbox, let them know you need help with media center, and they'll transfer you to the internal department. No straight in number, unfortunately.

Dont use media connect, set up Windows media center. I beleive home premium comes with media center.
