Matt 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 You hook it up to your TV and broadband and you can watch the box from anywhere in the world with a net connection. Sounds pretty awesome but has anyone used one before? If I can do a bit of upgrading on the net in the north I can scab all the footy off Sky without having to go to the pub and pay £3.20 for a Fosters.

themags 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 it's canny piece of kit, it's not too great for the UK right now as remember your limited by your upload speed. You will probably only be able to stream at around 300 kps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Sky appear to have given me full access to every channel ever, so I'm tempted to avoid the humiliation of watching the match in public tomorrow night.

I take it Playboy, Television X and Hotbabes channels dont get much use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31641 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Right, so will this work so that I can watch TV on my PC in my bedroom or is it designed for using off site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themags 0 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 it'll work on your local LAN no problems mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31641 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 One more question, is it two way? i.e. will it stream from the computer to the TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Not yet, there is a new model coming out that is designed to take webstreams and make them available on your TV sometime next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31641 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Might be worth waiting for that one, though the only thing I'd be looking to stream would be downloaded films and TV and it'd probably be easier just to get a Divx compatible DVD player.
