Streaming Live TV over LAN

[poidda]

Anyone do this at all?

I have a Tuner in my server and keen to stream the live TV across my wireless so I can watch it anywhere in the house on the laptop.

Anyone had any success doing this before I waste hours on end? ;)

I used to do this using Windows Media Encoder (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx), and strangely the instructions (http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=386789) are still around (not sure if they still apply to this version though - it's been a while!)

I've had a read about using VLC. it seems pretty basic, and I've used VLC for years to watch downloads.

Try Tversity. I'm not sure if it does what you require though.

Pretty sure you wont be able to stream HD at 54mb speed (well i couldnt) but standard def is fine.

You definately won't be able to stream HD.

Mythtv is the obvious answer to this, but I'm going to assume not what you are looking for.
