Linksys Media Center Extender

Has anyone tried PlayOn with the Linksys Media Center Extender? at $112 on Amazon, it looks like it would be the perfect device for my bedroom.

Linksys Media Extender (DMA2100)

Has anyone gotten PlayOn to work on this? Trying to followup on an un-commented question.

Need a UPNP reciever

The media center extenders work against media center, and can not tune to a UPNP source per se, so this won't work..unless you have a UPNP reciever on your MCE box that supported an extender.

MCE = microsoft media center edition.

UPNP on MCE

Has anyone ever seen a client for UPNP that will stream to MCE? I am growing more and more convinced that Microsoft thinks that MCE is a dead system. It seems that obvious functions are missing after many years of MCE production. My DirecTV reciever uses PlayOn very well. I would rather run it through may LinkSys MCE.

vmcPlayIt

There is new VMC plug in called vmcPlayIt that leverages PlayOn technology. It is in the midlst of being built, but there is a beta version to test. Still buggy, but very promising. Here's a link:
