Media Portal and Media Center together

Avigrace · 2007-06-19, 16:31

I am running the new 0.2.3 RC1 version of media portal, however I also have an xbox 360 upstairs and like to use the media center extender to watch TV. This means though I have to leave the media center services running on my PC which I used to disable before I got the 360.

I have configured media center to only use one of the 2 cards I have and media portal the other. This setup seems to work ok but am wondering if it's the best way, has anyone any experience with this method? Is there a way I can get streaming TV to my xbox through media portal?
