Play Blu-ray disc thru PC to Xbox360 to HDTV

I am thinking of purchasing a PC with a blu-ray drive and Vista premium
installed. I currently have a 360 connected wirelessly to my home network. My
question is can I play blu-ray movies disks on the PC and have it stream to
my home theatre setup in my living room via the 360?

I don't think Media Center supports HDTV except for ATSC off the air and
Cable card on certain commercial computers.

Here is an FAQ on that subject:

I think this may be an answer to a different question.

You can't do this even with a regular DVD in Media Center. SO the answer is
no.
