Sharing media to your Xbox 360

Your Xbox 360™ console can deliver the ultimate integration of gaming and room-to-room entertainment. Record live TV*, stream video**, view your photos in a slide show on your TV and play all your music—both your audio CDs and the unprotected music files on your PC—through one sound system anywhere in your home.

To share media with your Xbox 360 simply connect your Xbox 360 console to a PC running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later—it doesn't have to be a Windows Media Center-based PC.

Click Setup below for the correct steps on setting up your PC.
