| | Media Center 2005 to Vista Media Center Compatibility I am looking at purchasing a Vista Home Premium laptop. I currently have a HP Entertainment PC desktop running Windows xp Media Center 2005 which I use to record TV shows from satellite. I want to know if I can transfer recorded TV shows from my xp desktop to a new Vista Home Premium laptop and watch them on Vista's Media Center. |

| | RE: Media Center 2005 to Vista Media Center Compatibility If you network the 2 computers & share the recordings, yes. Otherwise you will have to burn to dvd to play on another computer.

| | Re: Media Center 2005 to Vista Media Center Compatibility You can do it either way. Any unprotected content can be moved from PC to PC with no problems...the problem is protected content (most HBO, Showtime, etc) will only show on the first MCE, unless you rigged it as a watched folder on the second PC...
