    Hey all,
    My current setup is an HTPC running windows 7 media centre downstairs with a dual HD tv card.
    In my bedroom I have my laptop connected to a 23" lcd monitor which I would like to use as a tv when I am in bed.
    Does anybody know of any software which will turn my laptop into a WMC extender (like you can do with the xbox 360) or that will allow me to stream all my WMC content including dvds and live tv streams to my laptop? Assuming that there are no bandwidth issues and that no-one is watching tv on the HTPC while I'm doing this.
