My ReplayTV (circa 1999) has all the hardware necessary to do this and interface with a regular TV. Sonic Blue got sued into bankruptcy over the internet sharing feature. I can still stream shows between my RTV and any PC on my network. If I could just pull them directly from the producer we wouldn't need networks or cable companies. I was thinking pretty much the same. But the streaming I watch - usually C-Span - sometimes has fits and starts. Something about transmission bits and bytes capability I guess, and could probably be fixed. Aside from that, around here Comcast owns the cable TV and cable internet. Don't think they want to stop billing for both. I recall seeing gov hearings cable ala carte and other cable issues a few years ago. All bull**** that got nowhere. --Vic One of my first cell phones hooked directly to my laptop and became a router to the internet for my browser.. Soon after that they figured out how to seperate the two services and charge for both of them... My cell phone hooks directly to my laptop and if I want to, I can use the cell to dial-up one of my ISP's and get on the internet, albeit slowly. |
