my advice if you wanna install winMCE you must reformat your c: and do a fresh installation. few other forumers that tried upgrade from winXP to winMCE received errors during installation.

winXP and winMCE almost the same lah. only got that media center additional functions only. off course torrent still can run lah and porn too!!! smile.gif

WMC looks nice and all, but functionality and format wise, XBMC beats it hands down... It works well with standard files (divx and all) on normal resolution, but once you go HD, xbox will show its age. Freaking laggy up to a point where it's not watchable.

Planning to get a TV soon, so media center setup is a must. I've tried transcode360 but the quality of the video seems to dip a little.

Heard about TVersity, how's the quality like?

Maybe I should stick with Xbox 1 for now eh?

What kinda error? I just tried TVersity, works fine over here.

Just make sure you set the user accounts properly for the service. It's one of the things you gotta do on the website. Once I did that, it works.

Too bad, it's still transcoding from the PC, hence, a some quality drop.

woot woot... streaming movies to my 360 is awesome... only thing now is must get better speakers for my tv... lol...

important websites and info for setting up media center

Xbox Setup

Transcode 360
Allows you to watch almost any file on the 360 *cannot run rmvb*

Other relevant info

If you want to use MCE,
YOU MUST HAVE ROLLUP UPDATE 2

If you want to use Vista you don't really need any updates vista supports the 360 as an media extender, but the instructions are on
Xbox Setup

To run transcode 360, if you have 2 pcs and your media is on 2 different pcs and you want the transcode software to transcode for both.

Then when you install hit manual (not automatic)
and follow these instructions

Also you can forward the transcoding operation to another pc i.e your main pc won't lag if you're watch movies on the 360 to do this

Open the transcode software in the tray go to network and input the name in space, test and see if it works.

I hope this helps.
