Unboxing and Setup of a Linksys DMA2200 (part2)

[hakonmur]

does the media centre extender needs tv tuner to watch live tv?

[bmbpdk]

tolet anyone know, its possible to stream 1080 HD through a linksys wga54g wireless router and/or direkte to the extender

[n10skillz]

I have Directv as my tv source, but for some reason I can not get the black sidebars to go away. I only get 4:3 ratio and no widescreen. This even happens on some DVD's. Any idea what might be causing the problem?

[RicardoRowMoscow]

is dvd streaming possible from the media center pc to the media extenders, i ask because i haven't got this vista media center yet

[RicardoRowMoscow]

just how many extenders can u use simultaneously on your vista media center pc

[Iandixon]

you can have 5

[radydragoon]

does it playout mkv video?

[Iandixon]

no, not out of the box

[Iandixon]

you have to fool Vista in to thinking its in the US by setting the locations in IE to US

[RicardoRowMoscow]

THANKS!

[RicardoRowMoscow]

one last question how do i get the movie guide feature in vista media center here in the UK

[Iandixon]

The PC is running Windows Vista Home Premium and the OS on the Extender is Linksys' own OS

[RicardoRowMoscow]

so can we the end users build our own extenders what advise on components and software would you recomend

[Iandixon]

no you can't, you can only go with an OEM unit or you could build a small PC and put Vista on it to get some of the the functionality

[RicardoRowMoscow]

do you know what sor of hardware to you think the extenders or build on is mainstream pc components and what software/OS is it running on

[probro22]

can you browse on web with this unit?

[josuetrujo]

what kind of TV cable service do media center support, comcast, direc tv, or dish?

[Iandixon]

You can use any of them, some work better than others. For dish for example you use a capture card that capture the output of the STB. I use a over air card that gets the digital TV signal

Thanks for putting up this vid. I have just recieved my DMA2200, however the CD-ROM has a big crack in the disc and I am unable to load the software from this. I have raised a call with Linksys support who were pretty awful to be honest. They kept directing my to the website where there are only 3 PDF's to download and no software. Eventually they said they'd post a disk to me, but would call back first. No call as yet.

[Iandixon]

I didn't need the software. I got the update from Microsoft

I had a few issues with the set up of the DMA-2100 myself. The biggest and most urgent issue I had was I did not follow the Media Center Configuration (3) correctly. Step one 1: Insert CD-ROM.

Sure enough I got all the way to step 7 and had the error "Extender did not connect". Inserted the CD-ROM and it has been working ever since then. I thought about the 2200 but was reluctant because I wanted to be able to use any DVD player I chose. Any way Greattttt Video.

[Iandixon]

It's a Denon ARV1906, great amp

[metalicpsp]

What reciever is that? btw greaat video i might buy one.
