[QUOTE="Valk, post: 536615, member: 18631"] I'll start with the easy point first. To watch on the PC you need a program like VLC which can play a partial file from the web. To use VLC you have two options. You can use the links by copy / pasting them into VLC for each channel from the channel list RSS feed or you can use the podcast feature in VLC to populate a list of the channels in the inbuilt playlist tool. From that you can just click on a channel in the playlist to watch it. As for the PS3 well it can be done but due to the extra software required forcing transcoding on the stream the image quality is awful. If you still want to give it a try go get PS3MediaServer (just search google). Goto the forums and get the latest development build, don't use the build hosted on google code. Once installed you have to add the RSS feed address into the ps3mediaserver web.conf file. I don't have it installed on this computer so I can't give you an example sorry but it is pretty straight forward. Once that is done you have to restart the PS3MediaServer and you should have links to the channels on your PS3 in one of the sub menus. Now the only encoder that works I found is MEncoder, it isn't the default encoder to use so you will have to go into the transcode folder. Finally it will take two tries before it connects making channel changing painfully slow. Personally I wouldn't use it but if you want to try feel free to give it a go. As a final point worth mentioning, if you wish to watch on the PC and the PS3 at the same time then you will need a tuner for each client watching (so having the PC and PS3 going is 2 users so you will need 2 tuner cards in your TvServer PC).
