Windows 7 – Streaming Recorded TV over the Internet

.

One feature of Windows 7 I haven’t tried yet is streaming of Record TV over the internet using Windows 7’s Windows Media Player Internet Streaming function. With this feature you can stream content from Windows Media Player to another Windows Media Player using your Windows Live ID so its a great way to stream recorded TV over the internet. Fellow Media Center MVP Barb Bowman has tested this and recorded a video of it in action

First, this is secure streaming between computers I own. The provider available for the RC is Windows Live, and any computer used as either the host or the client MUST be associated with your Windows Live ID (the same one on each computer). You’ll need to set permissions on the host machine within Windows Media Player, as well.
