Hi all.

I have a basement, which I would like to have an area to play games, but the xbox will stay upstairs in the living room.

What do I actually need to make a pc which will be capable of streaming the xbox one to the pc?
If it does involve expensive cards etc, I may as well buy a second hand one, and have the 2nd one downstairs.
but that means ripping up freshly laid carpet etc

Don't know if this would make a difference, but I do already have a PC, but this is in the room next to it, and would want it to stay there.

Many thanks.
 
Solution
nothing really. Just use a wired gigabyte Ethernet connection for stability and you are good to go. All the hard work is done by the xbox itself. The PC merely receives and displays the stream the xbox sends it.

So litterally the basics with on board graphics.
I'll be using power adaptor for the LAN connection as I find the supplied modem/router isn't great for online gaming.

Many thanks
