    Windows Media Center networking and streaming


    Hi basically ive noticed that if I have a tuner on one of my computers running windows media centre i can connect my xbox to the media centre using media centre extender and i can access the TV tuner. Is this possible to do with another pc.

    If my tuner is plugged into my desktop pc and im downstairs on my laptop and want to connect the tuner.
