Give up with Win 8 and Xbox extender?

Hello,

Big fan of MC since XP days. Fresh install of Windows 8 onto a new SSD. PC performing superbly, and I like Windows 8. TV recordings on a separate dedicated Hard drive. MEdia center on the PC itself is brilliant.

BUT viewing MC on the xbox is a spluttery mess. It works but hesitates and loses synch, and HD is even worse. Xbox connected via ethernet to a gigabit wireless router.

Any tips before I give up and get a YouView setup? (I feel like this is what MS want me to do!).

- Rob

Network adapter settings on your HTPC might need tweaked, or you might need to update the driver.

That's step 1.
