I have this workin now even with sound on Sky channels, but its a unreliable after about 15 min the picture goes all blocky until I press stop and play again. Has anyone got any tips for me on how to get a reliable stream from my 500s to my PC It donesn't have to be VLC it just needs to be good as I want to use my laptop as a second TV. Thanks | ||

My System: Window XP Atlon XP 2400+, Atlon XP 1200, Dell Lattitude, SPV M2000 PDA, Netgear WGR614 Wireless Router, Dlink wired ADSL Router, Drembox 500 | Thanks for the reply rolf the link you posted doesn't seem to work. I suppose really what I am looking for is verification that what I am doing is vaild I want to use my laptop (high spec so I know thats not the prob) as a second TV. To do this I am opening VLC on the laptop and connecting to the dbox stream directly, this seems to work well except for me having to start and stop VLC after about 15 mins beacuse of the blocky picture. I am also using a a wirless LAN 802.11g which I think should be up to this job. Is what I am doing a vaild way to use my laptop as a second TV? If not what is the best way for me to do this? Thanks | ||
