    Can you run two Kinects with one USB hub or do they need to be on different hubs?

    It doesn't have its own power source. I have this one with the optional power supply: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_i...seq=1&format=2
    So we can confirm that kinetic works with extended usb cable right???

    I have a remote kinect running on a 65ft cable from Monoprice. Works just fine.

    The kinect is very picky on USB ports. I have read report of users saying that it simply does not work with USB 3.0
    I also tried both kinects on another HTPC machine that I built. Both Kinects were on USB 3.0 ports and both worked fine. Maybe it depends on the motherboard and drivers?

    I was using the 30' monoprice cable but couldn't get it to work with a second Kinect on the HS machine. I installed a USB 3.0 card and the cable started working. Turns out it was a insufficent bandwith problem.

    I don't know what I was doing wrong before but it seems to work now. I just restarted HS3 and it works.

    Hmmmm. I'm not sure if it works like that.

    Ha! Apparently it doesn't! I'd try it again with a powered cable. I noticed that Monoprice has special Kinect extension cables.

    I use the adapter that came with the kinect that plugs in the wall and put the monoprice cord between the kinect and the adapter thus extending the original cord.
