Hi all,

It's not that bad on my G3 iBook 900Mhz, not running a recent CVS (about 
Nov when it all started working I think), but MPEG4 live TV is 
watchable. Watched the tennis for a couple of minutes on Wednesday. 
Recordings weren't watchable last time I tried, but they're RTJPEG and 
its 802.11b networking* so I'm not worried about that yet.

Don't drop the G3 yet :)

* It's actually a 22mbps D-Link bridge to D-Link router with the iBook 
on ethernet right now.
