Streaming from Dreambox to PS3 or WDTV Live

[cunny]

Morning guys.

Has anyone managed to run LIVE streams from a DM800HD to either a PS3 or WDTV Live. I can get the WDTV to see recordings no problem.

There is a thread over on a WDTV forum here

http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=320

Just want to know if anyone has had it running, if so, how?

Remember this is a question about live feeds from the Dreambox, not recordings or movies (i want to watch football downstairs from my dreambox that is upstairs and short of running a DVi-HDMI + Audio i'd rather do it over my home network)

Thanks for any info/help

a simple and cost effective way is a wireless tv sender buddy it works for some people just a suggestion, i have a ps3 and a wdtv live but never tried to do the above as have a wireless sender

Thanks for the reply. I have thought about that but before I would do that I'd run a dvi-hdmi from pc in kitchen to tv in front room along with an optical for sound. As all media streamers are in place I think it ahould be possable

yeah would defo be possible if u could get the length of vcables required, it is alot of setup to stream it with wdtv live and imho not as reliable as a hard wired cable but i would be interested if u could get it working

Hi check the limitations of hdmi cable length you can buy hdmi over cat 5 adapters fairly cheap but work fine as a couple of mates have them for just this reason.

if you have permiant time shift enabled on dm800 and use dm web control to change channels think that should work

I can stream to the PC no issue, i want to stream to a WDTV live or a PS3

[smithie46]

a no, with permament timeshift your wd will see whats on the harddrive in real time (a think) but for changing chs you will have 2 use web control. start a recording and while its recording you can watch whats been recorded on wd so havin time shift enabled keeps the harddrive active. i am no expert this is just my opinion. why not give it a try

I will on my days off now, its a very good idea i am also going to look through some other ideas, what ever i find, i will post

Guys i have decided to run a HDMI lead from pc to the tv to enable streaming (the easy option) and use the pc as my media center, only draw back is that the pc is in the dining room so :

I would like to thank everyone for thier input including the pm's i had on this. You know who you are

Even cheaper method is stream to an old original xbox running xbmc
. No h d but otherwise a great way to stream to a bedroom

[cunny]

Yeah could be if i had an old xbox 1 but a 10m dvi-hdmi ?15 + 10m Toslink cable ?5 so not bad really, i will just setup dual desktop on the pc
