[MLB-WIRELESS] DIGITAL Tv Tuner & Video Capture Card

[Allan]

Hi,

I have noticed that some people have contemplated broadcasting HDTV or SD 
digital TV over a wireless connection. As HDTV is 19.4Mbits/sec the only 
way one could do this successfully is to re-encode the MPEG 2 stream on 
the fly.

Cost wise I do not know why you would want to do this as a digital TV card 
such as my Vision Plus card will set you back around $150, around the cost 
of an AP. If you get a good TV reception the chances are you’ll get 
reception. Why spend hundreds on hardware to recompress data to enable you 
to transmit it using 802.11, hogging bandwidth that can be used for other 
proposes that aren’t already transmitted (on a different frequency) for 
free?

That’s my 2c.

Allan.
