I would like to be able to record TV and broadcast live TV from City A with MythTV (backend), then to be able to watch those recorded shows, and live TV from City B (frontend). The way I'm thinking about this is being able to broadcast this over the internet somehow from City A, then allowing the frontend in B to connect to it.

I'm not quite sure if this is possible with MythTV, could anyone tell me if it is? This is similar to Sling, but I would like to be able to record shows.

Thanks.

Not without transcoding to a *substantially* smaller size. Bandwidth requirements between BE and FE for normal recordings are such that 10Mbit/sec networking barely cuts it, and for wireless you need to be using the highest bandwidth "g" equipment. Most people don't have anywhere near that amount of uplink bandwidth...

I can watch my recordings and live TV over the internet with mythstreamtv . As tjc points out, your broadban upload speed is the bottle neck...I need to really scale down the framerate and bitrate.

I really only use it to keep track of redsox games from work. Works great over my LAN (wireless G) .. any windows PC has access to recordings and tuner streams

VLC takes a pretty good hit on CPU. I'm using an Athlon 1.2GHz, and I end up setting video speed to 256, video size to 50%, and FPS to 20 just to keep my CPU utilization below 80%.

Just an FYI for those with older hardware...if your media player keeps rebuffering while watching a stream, it might not be bandwidth, but simply computing resources on your Myth box.

Do you guys know of another way of going about this, or do you think Sling is worth it? I don't really need the ability to save broadcasts but it would be nice.
