Has anyone on here successfully streamed from a Silicondust HDhomerun network based tuner to a Pentium 4 system? I'm wondering if upgrading from a 512 meg 2.4 Ghz P4 to a 512 meg 3.06 Ghz P4 will make a big difference or if I'm going to need a multi core machine? I got the network tuner thinking more than one computer on my network could be used to stream television only to realize, to my shock, that none of the computers on my network in all likelihood are fast enough.
I realize that Pentium 4s are old these days, but I'm tight on money where the point of buying a network tuner instead of a television is to save both space and money. If I have to get a dual core or quad core computer, I'll stop trying to get a 3.06 Ghz P4. Honestly, I don't get why I can't buy a hardware card to do the mpeg translation so that I don't have to have a faster P4 or a quad core system. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
