Not natively but you can add support via 1- a DirectShow MKV splitter such as Haali Media Splitter or MPC-HC standalone filters, or 2- a MediaFoundation MKV splitter, currently limited to DivX.

Does anyone know where i can find a reliable tutorial on how to add MKV support to the xbox?

Hi Mikinho,

Can you kindly detaile the viewing experience when using the Xbox360 and DMA220?
Is there any stuttering or pixelation when viewing live tv?
Any connection problems?
How easy is accessing recorded content through the xbox?

I guess which one is the bes from your personal experience..lol..in terms of quality of live tv (stuttering) and ease of use?
I guess they all have the same features but is there a particular one that supports more file formats? Or offer extra features that other extenders dont have?

    * Xbox 360 (Works in MCE 2005, Vista, and Windows 7)
    * Linksys DMA2100
    * Linksys DMA2200 (Integrated DVD Player)

    * Niveus Media Extender – EDGE
    * HP MediaSmart HDTV (With software update from April 2008)
    * Samsung MediaLive Digital Media Extender MR-00EA1

I go in Best Buy all the time, but I don’t buy all that much.  Usually I buy movies.  I browse the computer stuff, but I can’t see myself buying any of it.  Soon as I reach for it, I’m like, “Nah, I’ll just order it online from Newegg when I get home.”

yeah you cant share the tuners with PCs just with extenders…which sucks…but like it was pointed out this is a limitation from Cable Labs. What makes the SD a more interesting proposition is that you can change the card registration between PCS. They are trying to make the process seamlessly. What this means is that yes only one PC can access the three tuners but when PC1 is not using the Prime then PC2 can access the three tuners. I think this would be a pain to configure extenders time and time to connect between PC1 and PC2.

Blockbuster doesn’t have “influence” – they are paying for the privilege. The signed away first lien rights to their Canadian assets if/when they go bankrupt to secure the 28 day window with a couple of the studios. It’s pretty much a last ditch effort to keep the company viable and they are coughing up whatever they can to buy the rights from the studios. If Netflix went to the studios and said “Hey, here’s a bunch of cash and stock in our company can we get the movies at the same time as Blockbuster?” The answer from the studios would be “Of course you can”.

The answer from the studios would be “no…unless you we can make a contract were you pay all the dvd and movie ticket sales you would take away from us”. Wal-mart is going to say…”if you dont bring back the 28rule then we will stop carrying your dvds in stores or online” to which the studios will say “of course we can bring it back”…and Netflix stock dives 20%
