<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I concur with Joseph regarding making sure your network
is up to the task. I regularly watch the native MPEG transport streams on a
Windows XP machine with VLC 1.0.2. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I have the asx file type defined to use VLC. Then from
Mythweb's Recorded Programs, click on 'ASX Stream' and I'm off and running. I
like VLC because it allows QC'ing of the captions. Uncompressed HD run's a
sustained 10 MB/s.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Since you stated that this is a laptop. Is it safe to
assume that you're on a wireless connection?</FONT></DIV>

class=gmail_quote>However, VLC and MPlayer WILL play the raw HDHR file in
Linux on the backend, but the Windows versions will not over the
network. <BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>Have you tried to copy the file to the windows machine to see if your
network is simply too slow.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have you tried installing the HDHR software on your windows PC, and trying
to watch live tv on the windows box?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>The HDHR simply puts out a raw MPEG stream... one that is easily played on
just about any OS, with just about any MPEG2 compatible player.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is it possible that your windows computers are simply under powered for
playing back such a high-bandwidth video?</DIV>
