Okay, I cancelled my cable tv subscription and shifted to streaming through my xbox in the family room and wii in the back room. Running the playon media server on my family computer. I plan on setting up a dell optiplex 755 (intel dualcore 2.67 / 2 gig ram) as a designated media server, probably going to install win7-64bit. I guess my question is that I'm looking for any advice, hints, secrets, criticism to this kind of setup and streaming sites like hulu and such.

So obviously I don't check the forums much. :(

If you still need help, let me know. A win7x64 box is certainly a good start. Gives you the option to share using Media Center itself (atleast on the xbox) or any of the other server share apps. I haven't found a way to share the Live TV input with the extenders, but you can playback anything recorded, downloaded, etc.
