Streaming TV Over WiFi to a Laptop?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday September 1, 2004 @03:30PM from the TV-by-the-pool dept.

PigAlien asks: "I use my wireless network to sit outside in the backyard and surf the internet. I'd like to be able to watch TV outside on my laptop. I see that the new Qosmio laptops come with a WiFi TV router. Is this the only one available (in Japan only)? I couldn't find any others with a google search. Alternatively, I have an extra computer in the office. Is there streaming software I can install on that computer that can handle a live cable TV signal and software to change channels remotely?"

Indeed. That was the first thing that came to my mind as well!

Seriously, MythTV is what you are looking for, chief.
