While you can watch your shows on your computer, wouldn’t you rather watch them on you that big screen TV in the living room? If you don’t want your computer sitting next to your TV, then you need to get a media extender.

Enter Microsoft Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 acts as a media extender to serve up your favorite media content. The Xbox 360 media extender screens look just like what you would see on your computer.

If you are looking to get rid of that expensive digital cable and still want to see the TV guide, then this is the way to go. This setup will allow you to watch one channel and record a different one at the same time.
