I was wondering if I really needed the router to get XBMC or can I just use the action replay kit to download linux onto it and set up the media center on the XBOX then use the router just to stream videos or whatever off the internet. I really need to hear from someone on this situation
because im ready to do it I just need to kno about the router.

Hi URL!

I’ve never used the MOXI, but from what i understand, it is more like Tivo than XBMC, though it does have some overlapping functionality (as Tivo does). But, the reason behind XBMC’s cult following is pretty much its grey legality. Most commercial solutions that do this sort of thing, including the 360’s media center capabilities, are hobbled by the fact that they are forced to support DRM, etc. to appease the content companies and XBMC does not.

Aloha Susan!

I love your blog and your coverage of the XMBC. One thing I would like to mention however, is that this type of integrated feature set already exists in a cool production commercial product that is definitely worth checking out — the MOXI! http://www.moxi.com

In addition to integrating all of these services, it has one heck of a user-interface.
