All the "extender interface" does is allow you to view liveTV and control the guide (it does a bit more that is the general jist of it).
Unless there is some hidden menu that I haven't been able to find, then the DMA2100 is a Vista Media Center extender only.

I'm happy to be corrected, but I can't find any other way to access content - that's why I asked why there is a USB port on it in another thread. There doesn't seem to be any way to play content off a USB drive in the software.

Besides that, if you're not going to use the Media Center Extender part, there are plenty of better options for a streaming media player.
