But why the hell did the XBox 360 want to talk to XBox live for an internal operation like streaming a movie from my PC to the XBox? I verified internet access was OK via the PC and that the XBox was talking to the PC. Being an engineer I went about diagnosing. I fired up the Media Center connection on the XBox 360 and it failed, saying I hadn’t logged in. I was up early yesterday morning and I was going to watch the second half of a movie I’d yet to finish. This means that instead of having the PC in my sitting room and watching on a monitor or creating a cable nightmare, I can stream the media over wifi from the PC to the XBox and then onto the TV. The PC has my MP3 and movie collection on it. Not only am I playing games on it, but I’ve hooked up the media extender to a Windows 7 RC PC. Since I got my XBox 360 recently, it’s become a central part of my home entertainment.
