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.
