Any recommendations for free and easy to use programs about?

Picked up one of these on my recent trip state side:

The WD TV Live Community &ndash; WD TV Live

Basically, I have it plugged into my telly, and I plug my router into it. It then connects wirelessly to my PC and streams film (inc in HD), music and photo files. Alternatively you can connect a hard drive or flash drive with media on it via USB.

Excellent bit of kit.

Went round to my mates house the other day to set up his PS3 to work along the same principle. Was a piece of piss to do, had it working in miuntes via Tversity. In fact even easier on the PS3 in a way, as it has built in wireless, whereas my WDTV doesn't (not a biggie, as it's near my router anyway, but you can buy a wireless adapter if need be). The PS3 won't play MKV files, but Tversity will convert them on the fly. :up: ]]> Bigsby http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/gaming-technology/58679-media-streaming.html Hacking and Internet Fraud help http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/gaming-technology/58672-hacking-internet-fraud-help-new-post.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:44:17 GMT Yesterday I discovered that my e-mail and facebook passwords had been changed, as they were both the same I realised that my account must have been... Yesterday I discovered that my e-mail and facebook passwords had been changed, as they were both the same I realised that my account must have been hacked which alerted me to check my Paypal account (of which the password was strangely not changed) and discovered that £100 had been transferred out of my account. I have marked this as an unauthorised claim, placed limitations on my account and changed my password and as of this morning, have managed to access my e-mail. I discovered that the £100 was paid to a company called WOW cards and in exchange for my money, the hacker received two 24-digit codes for "Burst Its Bank" and "Edith". Has anyone idea what these could be for?

And now my passwords/security questions have been changed, how safe are my accounts? Will this hacker still be able to access information?

This is going to get ripped to shreds.

Spoiler:

Infinity Ward has confirmed controversial footage showing civilians being gunned down by terrorists in an airport. The footage will appear in the game as a skippable segment, covered by a confirmation screen that players will have to acknowledge before experiencing the content.

"The scene establishes the depth of evil and the cold bloodedness of a rogue Russian villain and his unit. By establishing that evil, it adds to the urgency of the player’s mission to stop them," explains Infinity Ward. "Players have the option of skipping over the scene. At the beginning of the game, there are two 'checkpoints' where the player is advised that some people may find an upcoming segment disturbing. These checkpoints can’t be disabled.

"Modern Warfare 2 is a fantasy action game designed for intense, realistic game play that mirrors real life conflicts, much like epic, action movies. It is appropriately rated 18 for violent scenes, which means it is intended for those who are 18 and older."

Infinity Ward looks like it's covering its bases with this hot topic, but try telling that to the legions of reactionary Americans who are just waiting in the wings to get offended by this rather touchy imagery. I fully support what Infinity Ward is trying to do it seems like a really great story could come out of the game, but I am not looking forward to the accusations of tastelessness and trivialization that FOX News and the other mainstream vultures will predictably launch into We all saw what happened when Six Days in Fallujah was merely suggested.

After a search on google there are a few Free programs that claim to offer this kinda service, just wondered if anyone on here had recommendations.
Cheers.

I know there was/is one that lets you do it on an original Xbox, but searching for one for the 360 is proving difficult.
