anyone using this to view tv whilst anchored in range of wifi?

I'm getting one for Xmas!! having looked on the users forum, it looks like it should work.

My plan is to have the box at Janets house, plugged into its' own Freeview box, (so that she doesnt have to watch what I'm watching!).

I would say I'll let you know, but it wont be till mid January or so.

There was a thread on mobo earlier this year. Was being used successfully in exactly this way

Er- how much badwidth is needed to transmit a TV signal over Wifi? I only ask as most networks only support a maximum of 15 users and if someone is hogging a lot of it watching TV it could slow or stop everyone else.

Impossible to say, it adapts to the network conditions and bandwidth available

and if you think about it, not unlike watching videos on youtube or other media sites on the internet.
