Once I brought my console upstairs to use Netflix, Zune, & Hulu Plus on the "Family" TV set, I lost the ability to playgames down in my Man Cave. Is there any problem with buying a second console and still using my Gamertag? Will I need to open an additional account for the online streaming services (Netlix,etc.) or can I use the same account on both consoles? Thanks!

You can use the same account on both consoles, but you can only have your gamertag on one console at a time. So you'd either have to recover your account each time or save your profile on a flash drive and switch back and for that way. The flash drive would be the best way.

I am the sole user of two consoles used as WIndows Media Center Extenders and would love for this situation to be more convenient. Can't they just verify that both boxes are on the same network and not being used simultaneously? Maybe one day...
