RE: XBOX and XBMC - First Purchase Advice Needed...

[Ho Yin Ng <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glenn,

Got a quick link? .. had a poke .. but just a quick one and not found that=
=20
much ..

Are you saying these mods you did yourself negates the need to purchase
a=20
more expensive hi-def kit?

I assume the quality of output is the same and not better?

I also understand from my poking that the hidef pack is only for US xboxes=
=20
you therefore need to mode your Xbox to make it work for a UK one?

Or am I talking complete gibberish?
