I also installed Apples Darwin Streaming server to stream them. Works<br> well over Sprint's network most of the time. Though 320x240 video is<br> really only useful for "talking head" news shows.<br> <br> There are instructions on the MythTV.org website to get you started:<br>

</div><div>Thanks for the info. Since I posted I managed to get the programs encoded correctly to play back on the BB but I've not</div><div>been able to test if I can stream them yet. Are there any 'public' darwin streaming servers I can connect to to test if the BB will even consider streaming a video file? Before I attempt to setup my own.</div>
