Xbox 360 Windows Media Extender - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I have a 360 that I got and I also purchased a hi-definition TV for my room last August.

Now, the nice thing about the 360 is that you can connect all your peripherals to the 360, along with a computer.
Unfortunately, you need a Windows Media Center Edition PC to take full advantage of the 360 capabilities [stream video].

Without shelling out $115 for the Windows Media Center operating system (I have XP Pro already), I have tried searching for some way around that requirement to stream video from my computer to the 360 to my TV.

Thanks all.
