Hi mate - sorry to go off topic but interested in what you mean by streaming HD to the living room ?
I've got HD content on my Laptop and am looking for an easy way to display on my HDTV, the laptop won't output the the correct resolution via VGA..

Thanks for any help

Wireless Xbox streaming HD Wmv's or divx/xvid via the media centre extender. I'm using the extender for my projector room but want the same setup in the living room.

you'd need Media centre on the laptop for this

It states comes with demo disc, mine didnt.

If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is

davegtt

Dunno, he looks genuine. Tempted to get one myself at that price with 3 games

RB5-Black

it's protected through paypal too so

I know it looks too good to be true but ...... worth a shot ? I keep looking at it and I think it's iffy

davegtt

Not sure, £200 is £200 I cant afford to lose if it goes t!ts up...lol Like you say though paypal should cover you

RB5-Black

he had 25 this morning and still has 21 now so I think a lot of people have the same opinion that it's a bit fishy

bob269

Contact the 4 current buyers to see if they've spoke to the seller at all?

davegtt

How protected is Paypal out of interest if nothing turns up on my door step?

Bartop

Many Thanks for the reply !

Ah, ok - so all I need is the Xbox wireless adaptor ? i;ve got wireless network at home and media centre on the laptop..

Will this let me stream .ts files from the laptop to the Tv via the xbox then ?
What about VOB files ?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm getting quite excited about this as it sounds just what I'm after doing !

I was tempted myself but im still happy with my old xbox.

Just use paypal but use your credit card to pay, this way if it doesnt turn up just contact your credit card company they will stop payment and issue a full refund!

We just got ripped off on ebay with a memory card.
Seller claims it was sent recorded but refused to give tracking info so we phoned barclaycard and stopped payment.

2 months later still no card but we got full refund now seller is no longer a registered user.

If we didnt contact c,card we would have lost that £30.

To do anything other than WMV's you'l need to use an on the fly converting software with that setup.

Google transcode 360 it should list the files it can convert on the fly. The HD stuff I'm streaming works very well. via transcode but they are in divx format

bob269

Well they've all sold, check his feedback in a week and see if it was genuine

If its a scam he's just made himself a tidy £5k.

Swen6

If not we've all just missed a bargin

RB5-Black

I just couldn't see why he was selling RRP of £430 worth of gear for £199.99

some things are wrong like the demo disc and he said in an email two wireless controllers ?

I don't need another one anyway so nothing lost.

Looks like some people have received thier 360's and others have got refunds...

DJ Dunk

Doesn't look like anyone got them to me. The ones that have left good feedback mention 'honest' eBayer, which indicates that he refunded them all.

RB5-Black

I looked this morning and couldn't work out what he's been upto. I agree that everyone got a refund with no Xbox sent but what was the point in it all ?

bob269

He's an "ebay trader" so basically he sells on behalf of third parties, he was probably told somebody had a shipment of xboxes coming in and he jumped at the chance to make some quick money off them. Looks like he was let down
