In this ''how to '' video I look at how to extend Windows Media Center to the TV with an Xbox 360. I look how easy it is to connect the Xbox 360 with Windows Media Center so you can get live TV, music, pictures and videos on the TV without having to connect up your PC directly to it All you need is Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate Edition ...
