| Post subject: | New to MythTV: Watching TV over the internet? |
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. |
