XB Stream automatically downloads and converts text based content feeds into images that can be viewed from the media>pictures>computer blade and hear audio podcasts/blogcasts from the media>music>computer blade. Content feeds are automatically managed by the software so you are always given fresh feeds, and older feeds are automatically deleted.

I have had the chance to use this and it works great as far as i can tell. You can add in internet radio feed & podcast of your fav shows + add your fav websites so you can relook them over on the x360 if your to lazy to get up and go the the PC. I dont use the web pages becuase i dont care to see them on my x360 without surfing them, but just for the use for podcast and internet radio its a must have. The first time you use the XB steam it down loads all the shows to your PC so may take awhile, but once its done it well look for new shows and DL the new one as it deletes the old ones not taken up much time at all. Well thats the only part i hate is when it checks for new shows, but you can turn it off to not look for new shows and only look when you want it to.
