[QUOTE="RobAnt, post: 367202, member: 87809"] I'm having this problem. I am using a Windows XP Home installation on a P4/2.66ghz 1gb RAM to host the streamer, and Vista HP 32bit on a 2.33ghz core2duo 2Gb RAM as the client with VLC as the viewer. The XP host has a Hauppauge USB DVB-T receiver and an Hauppauge PCI DVB-S2 card (although that has yet to be tuned, as we're half-way through a community satellite installation). LAN is 100mbps full duplex - considering upgrading to Gigabit, but layout means I would have to use two switches without relaying cables. Just to clarify, the problem is I cannot change channel on the client without the VLC starting to play from the beginning of the timeshift buffer. The picture then deteriorates into massive pixelation (with perfect sound, though) and it becomes necessary to restart both the client and viewer software. Can someone explain, how this can be rectified. I'm a PC technician & certified Novell admin (Netware, not much Linux) by trade, so not adverse to trying things out technically, if I can understand exactly what's being said. When it does work, the VLC client gives pictures as good as Virgin cable standard def set top box. The satellite should give me a couple of HD channels (it's a huge dish by todays standards). This raises the question, will a 100mbps network be able to handle HiDef? [/QUOTE]
