I have more PCs than TVs in the house and I want to be able to capture the SAT TV s-video and audio on the HTPC and be able to view it on other computers on my network.
I would like to keep the bandwidth low enough so that I can stream over 802.11a so I can sit on the front porch and watch tv and surf the web on a wireless laptop.
Taking it a step further, I'd like to be able to remote control the SAT receiver from the remote PC.
I'd also like to have a library of digitized shows, music and movies that can be viewed on any PC on the network. Maybe even rip a handful of my favorite DVDs.
I would want the quality to be pretty good, about as good as the best quicktime trailers, but I want to be able to view it full screen like windows media player or powerDVD
I would really like to be able to do this in one easy to use program so when guests come over I can show them the program on the guestroom PC and they can easily choose from pre recorded shows and live tv.
I'm not sure where to start, but I'm guessing that I will need to capture the audio and video and then convert it to a high quality streaming format.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
