[. . . ] Nero MediaHome acts as the media server in this process and only the Nero MediaStreaming plug-in is required on the client computers. In this way for example, you can access the media archive on an another computer from the MCE computer connected to the TV set and retrieve the videos stored there. If you have connected an Xbox to your TV set, you can also use this to reach a remote MCE computer with a media archive to show videos on the TV screen. If you have connected an MCE PC to the TV connector, you can of course also access the video collection on the remote MCE computer or the current TV program from other MCE clients such as your laptop, for example.
