Is there an easy way to view TS recordings on the Xbox 360? (1 Viewer)

As the title says - is there an easy way to watch Media Portal TS recordings on the 360 (ideally within the extender software)?

I am currently running MCE2005 with a Nova T-500 dual tuner. I have a couple of issues that i feel will only be fixed by either a complete reboot (especially removing Service Pack 3 XP) or upgrading to Vista

I have previously tried Media Portal but found at the time it wasnt quite as good as my MCE 2005 software for live tv and recording, but would love to get it up and running properly.

The main issue i face is my wife sometimes watches recorded Tv upstarirs on the 360 extender, which she finds very easy.
I thought i had found a plug in for media portal which works the same way, within the 360 extender set up, but it seems it only streams live tv pics - is there anything that is easy to use for recorded tv?

Thanks,
Del

If i may be so greedy, i have a second question (linked to the first) that i hope one of you teccy guys could help me with :sorry:

Part of the reason i tried media portal in the first place during the summer was due to problems i was having with MCE 2005 (which i think are linked to XP SP3 ) and relate to the quality of tv picture

Most tv channels in MCE2005 have an acceptable "live" picture/broadcast, but Channel 4 and E4 amongst others stutter.
I've tried all sorts of tricks with drivers etc, but cant seem to fix it.
Howver, the picture, even the recorded TV programmes with said stutter, plays fine on the 360 Extender.
To muddy the waters further, if i try watching one of these programmes within Media Portal (DVRMS format) the stutter is there.

However, if i install the Media Portal TV server & set up my Nova T within Media Portal, the Live TV picture on Channel 4 , E3 etc is fine ???

How can this be ??

Thanks again for your time.

ps - i've just set up the basic Media Portal (without TV Server) with the Christmas Blue theme and its brilliant !!!!

If i can only get the 360 to play Media Portal Recorded TV easily i reckon i could persuade my better half to give it another go !!!

Cheers,
