|  MP and Microsoft Media Connect Just wondering if anyone out there has tried running MP along with Microsoft Windows Media Connect 2.0? I've just downloaed it and set it up on my MP machine and so far no issues. I've been streaming video to another PC while watching live TV on MP and so far all is good. If anything pops up I'll report back.

Is the Microsoft Media Connect download both a client and server, or would I need additional client software to play media on a second PC? Thanks in advance, patrick | |

| Microsoft Media Connect is a server only. You will need some type of uPnP client to view the data. This can be either a software client or hardware device. So far I've had no issues with Media Connect and MP on the same box.

| Just so there is no confusion about what Media Connect can do. It can only stream recorded vidoe and music not live TV. If you want to stream live TV you will need to look at a different product.
