RE: Streaming media players - new one and HELP!

["JT @ Home" <Jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tony,



Yeah, wireless controllers are available for the eggbox. But, not MS ones,
they're not too bad (I prefer the proper original large ms remote)



Xbmc comes on in leaps and bounds every week (or so it seems anyway!) last
I
looked there was a bit of talk of using IPTV which seems fairly
interesting!



I recently bought an xbox off of ebay with a knackered hard disk - which
worked out well as I chipped it and put in a 200gig disk, the total cost
came to around 120 including a genuine ms remote and ir dongle.



Jonathan.

good point.

If I do get it working of course, then I'll need to buy a second one - one
for the sprogs to play lego starwars on, which is only hauled out wnen
required, the other hidden away in node0 connected to the AV amp
etc.....unless - are there any wireless controllers for the xbox - either
RF or IR (since I have wired IR) so the single xbox could serve both
purposes (and games could be in glorious surround sound too) ?

cheers,

T.
