Re: Can MCE 2005 view tuner of another MCE 2005 computer?

How does a Media Center Extender make it legal to view the content from
another device, but doing the same from a another PC is illegal?

Because the second PC doesn't have a license for the content (It's created
on the first PC and saved with the content).

Don't want you saving the content and distributing it on DVD!

...and no, you can't save it on the first PC, copy it to DVD, then play it
in the second PC. At least that's what the DRM zealots tell us.

How exactly would that be illegal?

Since you could do exactly what I'm asking by using a PC then using a
bunch
of Media Center Extenders, and/or Xbox 360, how would it be illegal to do
it
using another PC?

So I was wondering could we get another MCE PC, and put it in a place

it could run 24/7 then would we be able to link to it with the
original PC
and view its files and tv tuner, in the same way the Xbox 360 does?

Nope... that would allow illegal use of the content.
