My Little xBox Mod Project Update

A while ago I wrote about modding my classic xBox to play movies over the network and lots of neat stuff, well I did it. 100% success and it is awesome. The mod isn't hard to do, I just loaded a saved game for Mech Commander that installed a Linux base. Then I went ahead and installed XBMC. With that I added my Windows Network share that had all my movies (I have been ripping all my DVDs to file for this purpose). So far so good. I have a great DVD player, and xBox game machine and I can watch my network movies, but I wanted more so I took a jump and loaded playon http://www.playon.tv/playon on my main computer and then the real fun began. I added my computer as a device on my xBox and now I can watch Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, CBS, Youtube and moer right on my xBox. For the first time I can actually see ending my cable subsription!
