TV Cast on the G1

[DillySD]

I wanted to create a TV cast on the G1 from a static IP that I have set up at home.

I have a TV Tuner connected to my satellite system that will display video and I wanted to broadcast that video to my phone creating a Java app that will accept and decode the image to play the TV.

I talked with Hava support and they said they wont be introducing a variant to their mobile phone TV program.

I talked to Slingbox and they said that it is in development but since the beginning on November.

I'm tried of waiting and I learned Java to try and do this. I need help with some incremental ideas that will try and use the IR to switch channels from home which might be easier if I use a cable TV box instead of a satellite. I wanted to know if anyone else has done this and if I could get the code to develop sort of a podcast. I am seeing that I might get into the realm of copyright issues if I display to other users but I would like to develop a kit to show how people can do this at home.

If you have any information or suggestions please post or PM me, I wanted to get this running in the next two weeks.

actually slingbox has an infra red to change channels
orb can work with different IR blaster
you can write a server that works with IR blasters as well
so the idea is running a client on your G1 that connects to a server running at home and streams the video over

when the client changes a channel, the server actually switches the tuner...

seems simple enough, but you need to learn about streaming and codecs...

good luck,,

Yeah that's quite the undertaking. You're going to have to develop a client/server based solution with special encoding and decoding on either end which can be a bit tricky. Good luck with it.

Riiiight.

A drastically easier solution would be to setup a machine to record video, save it as a file, encode it as h.264+AAC in an MP4 container, and make the resulting file available on your local network for your G1 (or other devices, like a PS3). I believe Windows Media Center can do this, as can MacOS X (via EyeTV) and Linux (via MythTV). It won't be real-time, but you also won't have too much work for this to get up and running.

This might help you, I could stream TV to G1 using Linux

if flash can capture your tv card you can broadcast from your pc and watch from the stickam app, changing channels is a different problem though.
