Is Vista Media Centre missing the extender functions?

[Mud]

As title, am I missing the obvious? With the 360 as an extender I can use TV tuners in my HTPC, but haven't found a way of acquiring the HTPC TV tuners from other Vista PCs.

Either my Google-fu is weak or no one cares about such a function

Vista media centre still has this feature

Thanks, but I don't think you've understood me, I want to use the tuners on my HTPC (Vista Home Premium) from my other Vista PCs (Home Premium/Ultimate), but can't seem to find an answer as to whether it's possible or not.

Ah

As far as I am aware you can not gain access to the tuners i.e using a PC as an externder. You could try webguide

Or you can share out the the Recorded TV, Audio etc librarys throguh Media player and then access the library via Media Player on the other PCs.

And if you want shared recorded TV bvetween PCs

Hope this helps.
