[QUOTE="haggard, post: 70266, member: 183237"] My project over christmas break is to get streaming working round the house through my installed LAN which goes to every room (plus wireless). Its the way to distribute thru rooms. A place I stay at in London was refurbed with TV distributed from a central server (incl Nokia multi-tuner freeview) with chnnels selecetd from a shiny Sony PC(AV). The only problem is that the Sony software "GigaPocket" or something forgettable like that (attopocket would be better) plus Nokia is the most crashable, flaky, crappy system I have ever seen. It cost many thousands. The principle is super; distribute best quality TV via 100Mbps ethernet, using only a fraction of bandwidth. Sony managed to trash it. 2nd question above: I suppose it saves a bit of time if you can start playing on DB the moment you start shipping from PC. But it only takes 16 mins to ship a whole movie to PC via 100Mbps cable. I could wait that long for it to upload. I would spend 15 mins giving her indoors a bit of attention. And as you know, from your PC upstairs, you can play god (little g) by changing channels and doing other things on the DB downstairs by logging in to DB's webpage. Even send a message "Coming dear" when she shouts up for you. But I'll do a test. I'll ship a movie file back to hdd and see whether I have to wait till the end of upload to start playing off DB hdd. I suspect I will have to, cos the file wont be handled like a pause and catch-up TX movie. [/QUOTE]
