Hi all,

Just a simple two part question.. Do you have it installed and do you use it??
I have it installed and its nothing but drama's.. No DIVX support and a bitch to configure..

I use TVERSITY which is a free app that supports DIVX streaming and internet streaming.. If only MCE would get its act together..

anyway, do you use it or do you use another device like USB or just TVERSITY??

I thought about doing a dual boot but then didn't bother. I just put my films on a usb stick, easier than having my pc on at the same time.

You say TVERSITY supports internet streaming, what do you mean? You can browse the internet on your pc and see it on the 360?

i actually use winamp remote. it has worked great and was fairly easy to install and use. i'm always been a fan of winamp, but i mainly just use it for the music. The videos i've found just don't live up to par for me, so i have my computer hooked up to my LCD HD 1080p TV and just view my videos from there. I really wish there was software out there that could let me use the 360 to surf the net for videos, instead of having to port them to an avi.

no, it only does websites that you add and have a tverstiy type of streaming server on thier site. i think hobbs put one for this site, so you can add the url from here and you can view videos from 360hq..but you c an't just go to any website and see videos.

like for youtube, they only have the top viewed and best rated videos, and even then to me it TAKES FOREVER!

right now its not worth it if you can either put it on a usb stick or just hook up your computer to the tv. it just works better for me.

I have a USB hdd and TVERSITY setup.. Both work flawlessly for me.
I run HD 1080 and it looks great now xbox 360 supports divx.

Eitherway a USB HDD or TVERSITY will get you out of trouble.
