Live Video on Network (1 Viewer)

[JesusLovesYou]

Sorry, please be gentle on me, I'm a noob. Is it possible to use this program to send live TV over my local wireless Network? Does Media Portal need to be installed on the other PC ( my low grade laptop)? If it can not be done.. does anyone have any suggestions. I have no tv tuner on my laptop.

It cant no, but I know there is software than can do what you want. Just dont know the name of it.

This works very nice for me with VideoLAN.

On my HPTC with the Hauppauge PVR 250 i created shortcuts for each channel:

C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe  -I vxwin --ttl 1 dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Capture" :dshow-tuner-channel=1 --sout=#std{mux=ts,access=udp,url=192.168.0.1}

:dshow-vdev is the name of your tv card.
:dshow-tuner-channel= sets the channel you want to stream.
url= is the ip you stream to.

To watch the stream on the other pc i created this shortcut:

C:\Multimedia\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe udp: --video-on-top --zoom 0.5

The only problem I have, when booting up the htpc and starting the shortcut the streaming doesn't work. I need to start mp and to goto my TV first. Then everything is fine.
