360 Extender and Blu Ray
OK I am a cheap. I bought a Blu Ray rewriter for my computer with the hope that I could have the best of all worlds.
I hoped I could burn Blu Ray disks and watch Blu Ray movies in high definition on my television through the Media Centre extender on the XBox 360, but I can't.
Windows Seven Media Centre now supports Blu Ray movies, but still won't allow playback over the network to the 360 (Can someone confirm this as sometimes I am a little slow.)
I have a DVI to HDMI adapter and cable along with audio cables, but getting all the cables out, fiddling under the back of my television, unplugging my speakers and one of my monitors is a pain.
I know there are programs available to make a legal backup copy of movies that you actually own, but personally I would just like to be able to pop the genuine Blu Ray disc into my computer drive and pipe it through an extender to any TV I want to watch it on in my own house.
There is mention that Microsoft hasn't enabled this function on purpose, to avoid people streaming movies over the internet. How I wish I had a good enough internet connection to do that.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
