has any member managed to stream the hd channels to there laptop

i have a good spec laptop so i dont think that is the problem .

i get the hd channel to come on via the web interace and vlc player.

but they just cut off after 10 seconds or so

i wondered if there is another method i could try or a plugin

i am on oozoon full image via usb stick with meoboot on internal flash

:banghead: i have tryed everything to get the intergrated wirless to work also so i wonder if there is a problem with box

or is that there are streaming related bugs with box which firmware will sought out eventually

HD data rate is higher than the network speed. Even on a fixed line - its higher than the card rate, never-mind wifi speed.
see here - this is channel 4 HD

just watched 1 hour of ironman 2 on sky screen hd no break ups what so ever.

picture quality better than when just going from dm800o straight to tele

i just read up that the picture quality is naturallyt downgraded when going from box straight to tele but when its being streamed straight from ethernet port its not mr matroska can get stuffed :woohoo-022:
