| Post subject: | Getting Started & Streaming Live TV |
Hi, I'd like to set up a desktop box as a television server to stream live tv to my laptop (currently a windows PC, but I may buy a mac sometime soon). I have a fair amount of experience with Linux and none with MythTV or KnoppMyth. I have a PIII box with 512MB ram and a clean hard drive for this project. I do not yet have a TV tuner. Both the server and laptop will be set up on a university network, so bandwidth is not an issue. My main questions are: 1) Can this be done? I can't seem to find any documentation on getting MythTV to stream live television. Also, I'm not sure how a Windows or Mac computer would pull streams/change channels on the server. 2) Which TV tuner should I buy? 3) Can a PIII support this type of setup? ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

1. Yes 2. Any Hauppuage MPEG-2 based tuner. 3. Should be unless. There are ways to use Windows has a frontend. As I've no interest in Windows, I cannot point you to a link. Check the MythTV archives. |

I can't help with Windows either (though there are some clients that talk to a MythTV backend), but if you ever get a Mac, you run MythFrontend.app and it all works fairly well. |

How can I set up streaming for live tv? I'm not really interested in setting up a PVR - i'm going for something more like a slingbox. Thanks for the help. |

Hi, Using vlc across samba works very nicely for playing links from the /myth/pretty directory also. That way you can record a show and later watch it at your lesiure. Mike |
