Hi All,
I recently got Vista Home Premium with Media Centre built in (No TV card or anything on my PC though).

The idea was to stream videos to my Xbox 360 and onto my telly, which with a little bit of jiggery pokery (dumped wireless got homeplug and learned about transcoding) appears to work well.

What im interested in is what i could be missing, I would like to listen to Streamed internet Radio on My Xbox via the Media Centre interface, watch movies without transcoding, stream internet videos (youtube etc) and have seen what are called Media Centre "plug-ins" for the XP edition of MCE.

Now all i want to know is if when i install plugins that are Vista compatible onto my PC that do this kind of stuff if that will also show on my Xbox 360 as Menu options?

Any ideas?
