When I open WWT on my computer everthing works as advertised. The opening screen says "Navigate with an X-box 360 Controller by connecting it before launching".

I've tried this, and it doesn't work.  Does WWT have a streaming capability to the X-box? (I have no trouble streaming video, audio, photos, etc.

Can someone advise me on what to do to get X-box to work?

Thanks,

rdadd

You can use a wired XBOX 360 USB controller connected to your computer thru a USB port. Or a wireless XBOX360 that is mated to the PC wireless usb "puck" to control WWT.

WWT does not appear on your XBOX, just your PC, but you can use the XBOX controller to control your PC session running WWT.

Thanks for the info.

I was hoping that WWT would somehow stream to my X-box which is connected to my TV.  That would be awesome to view WWT on the TV.

Thanks again,

Not had any problems using Xbox 360 controllers here.  Have you made sure the controller is actually working within Windows itself?  You can go to Game Controllers in the Control Panel, assuming its there it'll be listed and you can make sure the sticks and button presses are registered.  If it isn't picking the controller up, go to Device Manager check its there and try uninstalling and plugging it back in again.

An Xbox 360 WWT client would be awesome, but at the moment its a matter of hooking a computer up to your TV directly.
