Ahh, okay then, not applicable to my situation as (TMK) nobody's been 
successful yet in modding the 360 (and even if they had, I'm not 
interested in trying it) =;->

Thanks for the info all the same.  And since I mentioned it in my first 
message, GeeXboX is *really* sweet.  Small (6MB) ISO file and it boots 
directly of a CD, and automatically recognizes all your drive partitions 
and if your video card supports it, enables TV out.  Very nice.  Don't 
have one to experiment with, but if you have a remote control supposedly 
they are supported as well (the docs show the ATI one common with the 
AIW cards, as well as a few others).  Supports DivX, DVD, audio CDs, 
etc, etc etc.  And very low system requirements, the minimum CPU is 
something like a P400 (although I tried it with my noisy P4 3Ghz).  I 
was pretty impressed with it overall.
