Play your digital media anywhere in the home
Windows Media Center lets you enjoy TV, digital music, pictures, and video on your
Windows Media Center computer. With a Windows Media Center Extender, you can bring
the Windows Media Center experience out of the living room and extend it into any
other room of the house. For example, you can record your favorite TV show on your
Windows Media Center computer and then watch it in another room in the house - all
this while others in the house still continue to use the Windows Media Center computer
to do other tasks.
What devices are Windows Media Center Extenders?
A Windows Media Center Extender device can come in a wide variety of different

music, pictures, and other digital media content that is stored on your Windows Media
Center Extender computer.
