Hi all,can anyone help me with this query?I want my Sattellite reciever to play its video out signal through my PC and across my LAN network to my sons PC in Real time.At the moment I use Windows (XP)Movie Maker to record the signal on to my HDD then he can play the file in Media Player.Is there an uncomplicated piece of software that will allow him to view the raw signal in real time without having to store it on my harddrive first,its a laborius task and I havn't allways got time to capture and mess around with Movie Maker.By the way he is 6yrs old and hence need a simple piece of software that simply displays a picture and sound.Many thanks everyone.Mike

yes there is a way to do this, if you have an ATI all in wonder you can broadcast's its stream over your network. The only other requirement is that you have ATI radeon card's in the other computers, as it uses hardware on the card to decode the stream. I have this working on my house and it is pretty sweet, you can play fully screen and everything, plus you can record from the remote computer as well. send me an email if you have any questions, I don't check here often, but I do come around from time to time.
