Built in wizards to automatically configure with WMC and WMP 11 (or higher)

Downloads and renders content feeds with all images, and html formatting
Automatically breaks up large content feeds onto multiple pages
Easily add/remove and manage content feeds with the intuitive XB Stream feed manager

Choose the frequency of how often content feeds should download and update - 5, 15, 30 minutes, 1, 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week, or choose manual updates

Log-off the computer and content feed updates will still download and process themselves

You know, I was impressed right up to the point where I realised this thing doesn't actually run on the 360. Missed opportunity!

Yeah seems the collector runs on a PC and then sends it to the 360. At least it doesnt require Win MCE, which i was expecting.

WMP11 already removed the need of MCE on streaming videos too, so why would anything else new coming up need it?
 
It's a good little program. My only complaint is that there is no setting to adjust resolution. It renders the images @ 1920 x 1080 which makes loading the images quite slow.
