The URC 8910 from UEIC supports "IR Learning", wherein you place two
remotes face to face and squirt the code from the original into the
8910.

I am not sure I understand that use of the term "streaming". Please
elaborate.

I have video files - MPGs/AVIs. I can play them on my computer with
WinDVD, et al, and play them on my DVDR if I make a data disc.

I want to be able to sit at my TV with a remote control and tell the
Xbox to play those same video files that are on my computer hard drive
on my TV - no DVDs involved. I will network the Xbox with a CAT5 cable
from my router using Ethernet.

How do I know which Xbox is the one you are describing and where do I
find out how to unlock it.

Why do you have to unlock it? Why is it locked to begin with?
