Anybody know anything about the Pinnacle Showcenter 250HD?
BTW there isn't a hard drive in it that's not what the 250HD bit means. It is HD compatable but it doesn't have HDMI?

But it does have a USB port, ethernet port and it's wireless.
I was hoping I could stream from my NAS box to it, but I can't get any where with that :(
It will see the xbox and some media, but only by ethernet cable connected to the router.
The wi-fi doesn't want to play? :(
Anyone got any ideas?

Ok so after a lot of messing about I got the Showcenter to see the Xbox, comes up as XBMC :)
I found a firmware update on the web, I think this may have helped.
But because all my media is on a server, it has nothing to play? i was hoping it would see the server through the Xbox.
Today I will copy some media to the Xbox hard drive and see if the Showcenter will play them.

Not really getting very far with this? ShowCenter still won't see any media on the Xbox, even though I have FTP'd some to the hard drive?

What protocol are you expecting your Showcentre to be using to see XBOX shared content?

I have network settings set to UPnP, allowing control of xbmc via UPnP and HTP.
Basically I have all the settings in network ON. This allows the showcenter to see xbmc but it doesn't find any media.
It will however see my windows 7 desktop and laptop pc's, but not the windows xp media centre 2005?

I'll proberly have another play tomorrow :)
