Upsteam bandwidth is the bottleneck, not the 3-4mbps downstream that you get. <br>
<br>
Of course, even if you got 3-4mbps up, that is really streching the
limits of usability. Search for people's experience with frontend
over 802.11b to get an idea of what you are up against.<br>
<br>
Of course, that is somewhat irrelevant. Unless you have a
dedicated a) A dedicated T3 for each backend, or b) Are willing to put
up with really crappy video quality, you aren't going to be able to
remotely stream live tv.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/1/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Dave Packham</b> <<a href="mailto:dave.packham@utah.edu">dave.packham@utah.edu</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Ok cool I have 100meg Ethernet in my house and at work. I can get<br>3-4megs from my desktop all the time. I think that the streams should<br>take less than that<br><br>Ill play with it and let you know how it goes<br>
