Can I use my laptop as a media extender?

I know that I can stream TV recorded to another pc using the options of streaming media player. But I want to know is can I use my laptop as a media extender?

I want to be able to launch Windows Media Center on the laptop, I it would launch on XBOX for example in the same way. And then use the same way I would use it on XBOX.

IF not, why? This looks like a pretty good idea to me. Can someone enlighten me?

Thank you...

Unfortunately no, you can share your TV recorded around the House to the other PC but a PC can't act as a Media Center Extender, like the XBox.

  • Can I use another laptop with Satellite L550-129 adaptor?

    Hello

    My Satellite L550-129 card is broken. (dc 19 V ~4.7 (A).

    Can I use an adapter of a mini laptop Toshiba NB500-135? (dc 19 V ~ 1.58 A)

    It is therefore the same Volt but a lower amp, can I damage something?

    Greetings,

    Hello

    Volt value must be the same! It is very important to avoid than anything.
    In your case, the same value of Volt AC to other support adapter, so you won't damage anything other THAN the value of the intensity is very low and I guess that the adapter does not provide enough power for L550 notebook. For example: recharge the battery would take much more time.

    However, I think you could check it simply as mentioned; you won't damage anything.

  • Can I use the laptop without the battery?

    Hello

    The other day, I bought my first laptop. A 17 '' HP Pavilion running Windows 7. My question is can I remove the battery and just run through the power cable? I heard that you can with some laptops, but not with others.

    I have take the laptop with me places that I will use it as a PC of office most of the time. I guess that charge and discharge the battery in time, will be so if I need to use it on the road I might as well give the battery a rest.

    Many people now use a laptop in the same way as a desktop computer, at work or at home. As the laptop is plugged in and rarely/never moved or disconnected or completely stop, simply allowing it to enter the mode "shall". Such use does not seem to contribute to battery decline we see here a lot of messages. HP & other manufacturers do not recommend removing the battery in such a case. Since I unplug/move mine sometimes I keep the battery in and don't forget to unplug and leave it to unload and reload periodically. This has worked well for me.

  • Can I use my laptop CD drive good install disks of program on another mini laptop (with broken screen)?

    I have a Dell Inspiron Mini running on Windows XP, that I dropped and broke a plastic wedge.  The broken plastic cut a wire to the screen, leaving me with a white screen.  I was able to use the fn 1 toggle to turn on a second monitor via a HDMI cable.  However, I decided that the blank white screen bothers my eyes, I went into the display settings and select 'make this my main screen' which means, do my main screen TV.  However, he turned off the TV screen instead of the empty white laptop screen.  The Fn 1 button no longer works.  I tried to do a manual telephone walkthough with Dell system restore.  By restoring the computer to its factory settings, I should allowed to use the Fn 1 button again to turn on my TV via HDMI cable - without success.  Therefore, Dell confirmed that I had a software internal problem and recommended that I post him for repair (no guarantee).  The Dell Inspiron Mini has no CD Rom internal drive, however, I have the original disks supplied with the notebook software program which is five years (or more).  The Dell Inspiron Mini operating system is Windows XP.

    Now, I have a laptop HP large format, with CD Rom drive, running on Windows 7.   Can I use my HP CD Rom to install the original records of the original Dell Inspiron mini Dell program?  Thank you.

    Thanks for the tips.

    You are welcome. :)

  • can I use my laptop as a monitor for my g4?

    can I use my macbook pro as a monitor for my g4 Tower?

    No, not in the way you're probably thinking.  The video ports on the MBP are outputs - video input , you should use a VGA/DVI to Firewire/Thunderbolt adapter (you don't mention which ports you have decided to use or machines) and software to display it in a window.

  • Can I use another laptop A100 model DVD recovery?

    Hello

    I was sent a Satellite Pro A100 with WXP Pro as operating system of my country of origin. I am currently in Libya and don't here are some agencies of Toshiba. I developed errors could not be fixed and needed to format my laptop but I don't have the product recovery disc. In any case, another friend of mine was sent a Satellite A100-904 with WXP as the recovery produces his CDs, could it be any harm if I used his healing product to restore my laptop? What will happen if I do?

    Need answers please!

    Usually, you can use the recovery CD Toshiba which is designed only for your laptop model.
    Ask yourself what might occur if you use the CD badly?
    Well, nothing will happen. Generally, you will receive a message that this CD is not designed for notebook and you will not be able to install the operating system.

  • can I use a laptop to set up a wifi access point?

    When I first received a laptop of opportunity in last December, a colleague tech at my night school mentioned that I didn't have to buy a 803,11 access point device to plug my switch, but I rather use a WiFi card on my computer to create my own access point. I told him I have such a card and put a little out of my mind.

    However, I have someone outside to spend the night at my place, and he needs to check his e-mail. Unfortunately, it seems that the RJ-45 socket on his laptop is broken, I have tried several cables and impossible to get a connection, including the cable to connect the computer I'm using now.

    Is it possible that I can use ICS on XP Pro (preferred) or Vista 32 bit Home Premium (really want to use it, I have never set the boot loader after the upgrade to XP on a separate partition, especially because XP has worked so much better) to set up enough connectivity for him to connect to the mail server?

    Should I Windows 7 or Vista to do this? I know how to do the reverse quite easily (share Wi-Fi on the Ethernet port), but I don't know how to set up the SSID and others. I would assume same WEP or WPA2 (Yes, I know how it is easy to crack, but it's better that transmitting passwords in clear text because it discourages occasional interception) would too, so it will accept a connection open, unencrypted. I'll just close access once it does.

    How could I go to set it up? I'm not spending money on software that is not free for one night, one-shot deal. Kiss, I just need a connection of bare bones for him. If its Ethernet port was working, I would leave him to plug my switch, but since it's not I need to create a gateway using what material I have on hand, and the only device with any kind of ability 803.11 is my own laptop.

    I know it's possible, I don't know if this is something only Linux, or a solution that requires 3rd party software.

    Yes, you can use ICS.  See http://practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/

    I forgot to include this--> http://www.home-network-help.com/ad-hoc-wireless-network.html

    You will need to configure security manually from the properties of maps dialog box wireless (on both computers) and IIRC, you can use WEP in ad-hoc XP networks.

    Go to the correct place
    Right click on the wireless adapter icon and select Properties
    Click the wireless networks tab
    Click Add to create a configuration
    in the 'Association' tab, set the SSID, network authentication 'Open' and WEP data encryption.
    It's been so long that I made that I remember exactly, but I think you can use only the 10 digit Hex key.

    I have this laptop. My question is why do you want to sell a computer with 32 GB drive hard when you know that the OS will seize 20 GB? How am I supposed to use this computer? I can't upgrade the HD and why I should buy an external drive for a laptop?

    So, I'm totally confused.

    This isn't a real laptop - it is a glorified tablet/internet device.  It is fine as a Windows to replace a chromebook, but forget not run anything challenging about it - it is designed for one purpose: be inexpensive.

  • Please tell me how to get this blue screen error and "pop - up to warning off my screen". I can't use my laptop HP Pavillion with Windows 7 yet.

    Apparently, I have a virus. The episode began with an announcement of repair that kept popping up when I arrived at my first website through google Crome. This is the address "... peep...» "something. He said that I had to call a tech to 844-332-2558 microsoft and they would help me to solve the problem. So I did and discovered that it would cost me money. Now I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I fell for the free 'update' thing to Windows 10. I hated this upgrade, couldn't use it and could not know even where to go to understand. Then, after much hassle and I mean DAYS going from one place to another to return to windows 7, I downloaded the "Magic jellybean" sahow me how to find the "product key" to go back to 7. You see, in 2013 or 2014, that I went to Missouri to help a friend who could undergo surgery. I bought this laptop in a pawn shop (Tiger pawn in Columbia, Missouri). It did not come with an installation cd. I already have t PROVIDED with Windows 7 on the laptop. When I tried to go back to Windows 7 from windows 10, and received the product of the drive key, well, when I entered on the screen provided, he says that the key is incorrect. I went cross-eyed trying to verify the accuracy of what I entered a second time. I called Microsoft who directed me to HP. HP said that this loaptop was conducted in Iran, according to me, he said. In any case, they said they couldn't help. Long story short, I finally was able to restore a setting the date early and returned to 7. BUT, since I get a msg saying that I didn't have a "true copy" of Windows 7. This msg is permanently on my rt, lower corner of the plate. Now I have this error screen and use my lap top. It's the whole story!
