[MLB-WIRELESS] Video Streaming over Wireless

Cute, this arrived in the Boingo Mail today.




Share Video Sources Between TVs with RemoteTV
Ask the Experts: I have a TiVo in my living room, and would like to
watch recorded programs on my bedroom TV, is there any way to do this
wirelessly? 

Answer: While TiVo home networking (both wired and wireless) is
currently available for transferring programs BETWEEN two Series2 TiVos,
it does not have any provision for showing programs on TVs without TiVo
boxes. Now, Belkin has an elegant solution called RemoteTV that works
with any video source: TiVo, DVD player, VCR, cable or satellite box,
etc. 

PureAV RemoteTV consists of two boxes equipped with 802.11a wireless
networking and various AV jacks. You simply plug your video source into
one box, and your TV into the other box, then play back video from the
source with the included Remote Control Extender. Even component video
is supported, for top quality. 

RemoteTV ($499 list) works by encoding audio and video in MPEG2 format
(the same format used by movie DVDs and digital satellite systems),
transmitting it wirelessly, then decoding again before sending to your
TV. Using 802.11a in the 5GHz bandwidth ensures smooth streaming, full
house coverage, and no interference with your existing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi B/G
data networks. 

Got a Wi-Fi question you'd like answered here? Or a topic you'd like to

Hi definitely enough bandwidth. You might like to do a search some of
home theatre related companies delivering media boxes for distributing
content throughout the house without cables using 802.11

The video proxy or server to me is the more interesting part of your
wireless project.

For those interested in video streaming what are your thoughts on
Akimbo? I'm about to import some of these into Australia. www.akimbo.com


Don't think of it as cable tv, think of it as kazza video streaming over
the net but with a prettier interface.

The very cool part about this is that you can micro-segment television
channels down to almost a single genre, they are just about to start
releasing an akimbo tv channel for just sailing television shows.

If anyone is interested in preparing a few wireless 'how to' tv shows
then I'd be happy to get you 'airtime' with Akimbo because I'm about to
deliver them some 'Daily Yoga' content.

Contact me if you want more info.


Cheers,
Dean

Hi guys,

Just pondering some possible ideas for my Telecoms project at uni.

Wanted to know how I'd go about streaming video over 802.11

Thinking of creating multiple embedded devices (say 4) all streaming
video to a server. 

Would this be possible? or would there not be enough bandwidth available
to stream this much data.

Anyway, just some ideas I'd like to look into further.

Cheers!

-Graham.
