Yeah, you can pick up a used 360 for a little more than a roku. I will say
though, Plex has come a long way in the past couple years. I would check
forums and see if there are still issues if you already have a roku.

It's been a year or two but i had issues with plex and media center. Plex
couldn't encode the tv recordings with protected content so i stopped using
it all together. For me, an xbox 360 is the best media extender for media
center, it's awesome.

We use media center for all of our TV and DVR.

How are you using WMC? With a tuner card to capture the files in the pc
running WMC? If so that would be a great setup. Point the Plex server at
the files, install the Plex app on the roku upstairs and it'll give you a
nice, interface for your shows, movies music etc. And, of course, a Netflix
app also. It's been a while since I've used WMC so I don't know how it
names the files. Plex needs it to be fairly recognizable. Wooties does
something similar I think. How does it name the files?

I use plex and it's easy to setup and great to use but it only streams
your media no Netflix

So I recently moved my computer downstairs so I was looking for an
option to watch the programs I record on windows media center, on the TV
upstairs. Does anyone have experience using WMC and Plex? Or do you have
any other suggestions on how to inexpensively setup my TV upstairs to watch
WMC stuff, Netflix, and online TV shows.
