You can't stream stuff directly from the USB hard disk. However, if you have Windows XP / Vista running Windows Media Player 11, or if you have an Apple Mac running Connect360 software, you can connect to the PC / Mac from your Xbox 360 and stream video from these machines. In both cases though, the video would need to be on the hard drive of your Mac / PC (i.e. in your My Videos folder on the PC or your Movies folder on the Mac) to stream it, you couldn't leave it on the USB hard drive I'm afraid.
never tried it from removable storage but works fine form my windows xp pc.
You will need to have the files in an acceptable format as well and add them to your media player library.
MP4 is nice for HD content.
I will see if you can stream from a removable storage device and let you know if i have any luck.
You can also play HD content from a data disc, i nice way of fitting a HD DVD or Blue Ray movie on a Standard DVD and play though your 360, again i find MP4 the best format for this.

Thanks guys awaiting your reply, would greatly appreciate some news, just to clarify what ure saying basically download HD content. then stream through pc to 360 via media player 11, = HD content playing through 360 to tv as long as the cable is hooked up via HD to tv.
yeah, make sure you 360 is set up for 720/1080p what ever it supports, make sure your 360 is networked to your pc. on the 360 (with your pc switched on) go to media/ video the your computer name and you should be able to see the files you are sharing, you will also need to make sure your WMP is set up for sharing.
open media player/ go to option / library / configure sharing / allow and you should see a 360 icon if its networked, any problems give me a shout or Google something like "connecting my 360 to pc" get back to you today on the removable storage bit.

yeah works fine, just testing it with a 1080p apple trailer and a usb data stick, no problems at all. Plug and play (as long as ur 360 is updated)
