This is the problem I have:
Sometime in the near future I will be getting a new PC in a place in my house that does not have ready access to a cable jack. I would like to be able to watch TV on this PC so I have been searching for a way to stream live TV over a wireless network that I will be putting in place.
I have a few things that I would like to be cleared up, if you please:
1.) Approx. how much memory and CPU power will videoLAN take up when it is streaming video over my network? The PC I plan to use to stream will be used by the rest of my family. (The system is not all that powerful. XP Home; AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1.8 Ghz;512MB ram)
2.) Is it possible that the traffic caused by the streaming video will slow down the network any? If so, how much?
3.) Is there any way I could change the channel on the capture card from the remote PC (the one I will be viewing it on)
4.) The PC I plan to use to stream already has a graphics card so I would just like to get a capture card. Is there anything special that I should be looking for, maybe even some suggestions of brands and products?
Thank you very much for taking this time. I would just not like to start this endeavor misinformed.
I think that is all for now.
Thanks again,
Justin
