Assuming you are connected to the LAN 100mb or better, you can do anything that the MCE system can do.

Buy a cheap tv tuner card, and work on using your pc as a DVR then you can stream all your favorite tv shows to the 360.  That's what I'm working on.

Xbox 360's Media Center thinger is that it's just a "client". The Media Center PC you have is the "server" that hosts video/tv (if you have a tuner). Essentially, you can just watch video/tv that's on your Media Center PC.

So, if you built a nice Media Center PC and threw it in a closet/basement and it was recording TV shows and such, you can simply use the xbox to watch whatever's on it.
