Are you tired of paying for Xbox Live and/or dealing with punk kids in the Xbox Live servers? There are alternatives - XBConnect and Kai Xlink. This article deals specifically with XBConnect, though an article of Xlink may be forthcoming. The following will explain what XBConnect is, considerations prior to installing it, and some general troubleshooting information. Note that XBConnect also works with a Sony PSP, but that is beyond the scope of this article, as I don't own a PSP.

A TechLore "Ask the Experts" Question...

Question:

I recently tried to upgrade my audio on my satellite box by switching to an optical audio connection. However, I couldn't seem to get it to work. The cord that I used was rather long, so I wound it up with a twist tie so the cord wasn't all over my floor. In diagnosing the problem, I tried unwinding the cable and it worked fine!
