I posted this same topic on the Nvidia GeForce forums but also wanted to see if anyone here has input. Any thoughts are welcome on the topic:

After doing some testing today I have narrowed down some problems I am having with Shield Streaming to using Windows Media Center with Xbox 360 extenders.
I have streaming setup and working just fine on my Windows 7 64 box with a GTX 760 - no issues. Once I connect an Xbox 360 as a WMC (Windows Media Center) extender everything still works fine. I can watch TV while streaming Bioshock Infinite - no issues at all.
The second I disconnect the Xbox 360 Extender (and the associated RDP session used by WMC is killed) something goes wrong. The streaming tab disappears from the GeForce Experience Preferences tab - my PC is now listed as offline from the Shield.
I have tried changing the language as well as restarting the streaming service from services.msc - nothing will get the Shield to connect once I have connected and disconnected a WMC Extender session from the PC. The only fix is rebooting - and things work fine again until I connect/disconnect with a WMC Extender.
Can anyone help with this? I am hoping there is some kind of work around or fix that can be made to resolve this issue. Since the PC for the Shield needs to be online all the time having it also act as a HTPC running WMC is a natural fit - so I really would like to avoid the expense of having to dedicate a separate PC to act as a HTPC and another for Shield streaming.
