Streaming my Home system
Posted: 12 Apr 2010, 08:58
2.8 Ghz Intel P4 with HT
1GB Ram and 40GB Drive space.
32 MB Gforce 2
And it has Windows XP on it with a WinFast TV tuner in it connected to a 32" monitor with both
VGA and Full HDMI inputs.
XP is configured to stop explorer.exe on logon and start the TV program on startup.
and the power button is set to shut down when i press it,
It takes about 1 min to boot up. I have also mounted the IR sensor for the Winfast Cool Remote internally.
The PC is connected to the VGA and My PS3 to the HDMI
and im using a Pioneer Hifi system as the sound.
At first the TV was just a temporary solution when i moved in, but after i put everything in a fancy looking
flat desktop case it kind of fits in nicely with the rest of the stuff and it doesn't look like i have a computer as a tv.
Its been running like this for about a year now and not once have i had problems with it. It also strictly only serves as a TV
and no other programs are running on it.
But now i would like to stream the TV image to my Bedroom onto my laptop. And i'm not very keen on changing my system too much.
Ive tried other Systems Like MS Media Center, Media Portal and a few other Linux TV interfaces and they all don't work well.
Do you know if RDP will work ? I somehow doubt it ?
And I think VNC will be slow.
