Watch TV on Pocket PC???

[kahchong]

I got a HP IPAQ h4150 that have built-in Wi-Fi and I always wonders if I can watch TV on my Pocket PC.
Is there such a thing as Live TV that I can watch on my Pocket PC or better still can watch it like a television that scans though TV stations?

Thanks! :D

Snapstream/BeyondTV (put .com behind it) is the easiest app for it.
it has a webinterface, you can change channels remotely, and you can watch/stream recorded shows as well. Even schedule recordings from your ppc.

(It uses a TV card in your computer)

If you have a TV tuner card in your PC, you can stream for free, though you would need something like the Snapstream setup to change channels. PPCT has a thread on how to set Windows Media Encoder to stream to your PPC here (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16660&highlight=streaming&sid=efeb2fa618e73d4ed5f63cabdc246d77).

I have a Hauppauge WinTV and use WME to stream live TV to my PPC via wifi.

The same setup can be used to stream music from your hard drive, but mapping the drive as local with Resco Explorer would be a better way to go, since you could access the music directly, rather than re-encoding it.
