Extenders for Windows Media Center

Share      

Microsoft has resurrected the Center Extender with Extenders for Windows Media Center. (Did you really expect a catchy name?) This will run in Vista with live HDTV streaming, supports 802.11n, and XviD and DivX.

Niveus, Linksys, and D-Link have come out with new devices based on this software platform and rumor has it that they will have HDMI, component and composite outputs, an Ethernet port, and stereo / optical audio outs.

No Extender for the Xbox 360, so no playing XviD and DivX movies on that yet.
