SC200 as MCE extender?

[jaymz]

I have finally got my MCE machine as i want it (apart from more storage and better graphics) but thinking if i can take it further.

I have a Showcenter SC200 that i used to use before the MCE HTPC, can this be used with MCE running as a UPNP server?

Iam aware that you can use a Xbox (but not sure how) or a Xbox 360 (not a gamer and think its an expensive/noisy solution). I have a 360 HD-dvd conected to the MCE machine so do not need a 360 for HiDef.

If not is anybody aware of any other UK extenders?

The V1 Xbox with MCX kit (unobtainable now apart from Ebay) is a neat solution for MCE 2005 but does not work with Vista. You can of course use XBMC to access video, music & Recorded TV on Shares on the MCE system (including Vista).

The Xbox 360 is the only MCE Extender available & likely to be so fr at least the next 6 months.

If thats the case the SC200 is going in the pile of stuff to be sold!
