  • invader, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2Totally rad! Now I'll have to consider signing up for Cable TV... Decisions, decisions...
  • CleoQKazoo, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2This is brilliant. Some cable companies charge per box/room, this is an awesome way to get around that.
  • riz94107, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2I figured it was doable, but I never actually bothered figuring out how to DO it. Thanks!

    *hugs VLC*
  • doxx, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1You can also use this to "DVR" the shows as you watch them. All sorts of fun possibilities thanks to Apple and VLC. :)
  • doxx, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Yeah VLC rocks! You can export the stream from VLC which is even better... multicast the HD feed around your lan and you're able to attach to it anywhere.. (as you know). :D
  • doxx, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1Did you get it working?
