You guys know you can stream it over the Internet. I stream the Chelsea match to my brother and cousin every weekend.

[braymond]

Yeah that's the bit I couldn't do !

[bobo06]

I will throw a guide up at the weekend.

what upload do you have i cant do this without glitching. Its all dependent on upload. Dont even try and stream out HD just wont work externally.

[oE]

I can stream HD fine - the secret here is not to just port forward your VU / Dreambox straight to the internet. The video stream from the sat receiver is RAW and massive in size.
What I do is stream my Dreambox to my PC and then use VLC to Transcode the video so it is compressed.
I then port forward my PC to the internet and connect to the compressed stream.

I use IDreamX on my Mac to do this - however you can do this natively on a PC with VLC or they are some utilities to do it as well.

I am on BT Infinity with a 8mbit upload; however I am only using approx 2mbit when streaming.

oE.

Fuck me even 2MB/s upload is massive for most home copper wire connections!!

Well I could set the streaming to any value for any bandwidth avalible.

Nibb - what is your upstream speed - I don't mind setting it up to match yours and you can test the quality if you want.

Ive got a Vu+ myself m8 so thanks for the offer but its not necessary.

My upload speed is about 600kb/s on a 13Mb/s download line with Sky.

[oE]

Nibb,

Have you got your mbits and MB/s mixed up ? - you have 600kb/s so that would be approx 4.5 mbps

1 Mbps= 125.00 KB/s= 122.07 KiB/s= 450.00 MB/h= 7.50 MB/min= 1.00 Mbps

oE.

[Nibb]

My upload speed according to Namesco is 656 kbps (82 KB/sec )

[oE]

Lol so it was me that got that clac wrong then

either way I'm sure it would work ok at 80k a second - or rather the point I was making is that by transcoding it you can watch an HD channel remotely - obviously the quality will be reduced but it will be watchable without skipping or jumping etc.

oE.

[Nibb]

Well if your gonna lose quality by transcoding you may as well stream the SD channel!

[matthewy2]

Gonna give this a go this weekend

[matthewy2]

Anybody else get an mrl error when trying to stream?

[bobo06]

Nope never

[eblaster101]

Anyone know a PC app to compress the stream?

[ant3b]

Where is the best place to buy a VU + duo box? I would like to have one set up soon I have a dish already a sky one. I would be interested in the streaming service aswell.

[oE]
