[mythtv-users] mythstreamtv & 802.11b

[Mark H]

 Mine works fine over 802.11b. I have mythstreamtv playing smoothly over my 
older Dell Axim PocketPC. Just make sure to use the lowest settings and 
increase until you see problems, but I normally use lowest settings, which 
is still fine for watching. For home WAN, I too use the fastest settings.
I have tried this directly over my home WAN and also from work. (DSL to DSL 
then to my PPC hooked up to work network). I've even tried it from a dailup 
connection. While extremely choppy and totally unwatchable, it is cool to 
tell someone in timbuktu to dialup to the internet and point the media 
player to my IP and they can see a picture or two of what I am watching. 
Show you folks your not completely wasting your time at college. Geek Factor 
of solid 10!
