Anybody use mythweb's streaming capabilities to stream over the Internet. I recently tried using it when I was on vacation, and even for SD mpeg-2 recordings it kept freezing and seemed that I didn't have enough upstream bandwidth at my house. Anybody know what bandwidth would be needed for a decent stream (SD was all I was hoping to get)? Is there no transcoding involved?

It's whatever the bitrate of the recording is. It's just pushing it out in an ASX stream. I found that even with enough theoretical bandwidth, over the internet it would still break up unless the bitrate was quite low (videos transcoded to small MP4 worked ok for me), using the flash streaming option was the way to go.
