I know its not my wireless connection speeds but probably my encoding settings. I'm using windows media encoder to broadcast live and i'm using ati tv wonder ve as my tv tuner. Anyone know why i would get choppy video?? Or does anyone have good settings i can use.

I'm also overclocking @ 472Mhz. I can control the DTV box using this app and Pocket IE.

Kaber Philosopher Join Date: Jul 2003 Posts: 496		Same settings as above. I am only encoding and streaming from one PC. It is an Athlon 2000+ w/ 512MB RAM. I can watch the stream on either iPAQ (3955 or 3765) by opening the URL (http://192.168.0.5:1406) in WMP, and change the channels in pocket IE. There is about a 12 second delay changing channels. I am using WiFi cards in both iPAQs and a WEP encrypted AP connected to the "network" - a WinXP box with two NICs and a hub running ICS.
