I HAVE A LOcationfree player from sony it cost 150 but i can stream my tv my dvds and my cable box to my 8525 as long as i have a 3g connection.
and it is clear as hell
as for software use myorb.com and u can steam almost anything from your computer to your pocket pc and its free visit myorb.com for more info and this dosent even need 3g to stream you can stream with edge also

Any one use orb to stream live tv

If so can you change channels. I can watch the last channel I was watching in media center but it doesn't change to the channel I select in the program guide on orb? Is there another software like orb that will stream the live tv to my 8525 or do I need to wait till I have the cash for a sling box.

Personally I use slingbox, and its frekin awesome! I have it coneected to my tivo, and slingplayer mobile allows for full control of your tivo with my 8525. I havent used orb, but when I was in your position researching it seemed like the video quality is about the same. AV quality is VERY good with wifi, good with 3g, and choppy with edge.

Although i currently don't have it set up at the moment due to rom upgrades, i did have this working previously and it changed channels no problem.
As long as you have the channels setup correctly in orb configuration this will work as you want.

Slingbox does a better job so far.

I just started with Orb streaming my media and pictures off of my server, but I haven't set up TV yet because I have a weak link in my cable so that when I split it to hook up my TV Tuner card, I lose about half my speed with my cable modem. Video from the PC has come across great with 2.0, I hope the same with the TV.

yes, it rocks
i've had it working for a few months. I use xp- not media center addition- just plain xp.
ati all in wonder radeon 8500dv
orb 2.0_latest release
I use the file browser to get gps maps, etc down to my 8525. play mp3, video, even look at my webcam, and watch tv (or listen to it while I'm driving). works on 3g and edge, even with an old pentium3 pc!
never tried a $lingbox, but my orb pc is free. sits there with no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse, just cable tv and lan.

Television remote for wing

Has anyone been able to get the wing to work as a remote control? There are a few programs out.
I know one of the programs is called VITO Remote.
Is it possible?

The Wing does not have infrared, so therefore the Wing cannot be used as a typical TV remote.
I have tried Pocket PCs that have infrared. However the experience was not great because Pocket PCs typically have infrared that was meant for high speed data transfer, not physical distance. So a person had to literally be within 10 feet of the TV in order to control it.

I gave this thought too, but the wing does not have the IR port.
Now if you're talking about a wifi type of Tivo or DVR or some device, then poooossibly.
Although, for me, I watch most movies off the laptop via s video, I also have LogMeIn setup, and my computer has an onscreen remote, I can log into that and press the remote from my wing and it'll respond on my pc and the TV infront of me. But thats kind of pointless since I have a Media Center Laptop with a built in remote, AND a seperate remote that controls everything else and the pc.

bah,
I just wanted to anger one of my professors a bit by turning the TV on/off.
Thanks anyways

hahaha now that you mention that.. i know some kid in my literacy class that shut the projector off every 10 mins until the prof just cut the class short becuase he couldnt present anything X-) that was a classic

not really a "TV" remote but a pc remote using bluetooth I use is here

It links up with most applications really well.

Sling box or CABLE on your Computer

Looking for a software program or hardware that i can use to watch my cable TV on my computers when I'm away from home. looks like the Slingbox only enables one device to use the cable signal...not very helpful.
Any suggestions on products? Looking for someone who has an existing set-up.
Thanks,
R.

You can only watch Slingbox on one device(computer or mobile phone) at a time? It can be installed on multiple devices though. How many computers do you need to watch tv on at time? I have Slingbox pro and I think it's great.

If you have a media center or vista pc then

G1 Remote?

is it possible to make a app for g1 that allows you to use it as a universal remote for your tv?

The G1 doesnt have IR.

nope, would need one of the two
unless you have your tv hooked to your comp via a network and you play movies from comp to tv and your comp can recive wireless controls from your G1 but that's too much work for me. the HTC 8525 could do it though(but it's an old phone)

remote droid
For controlling your tv there isn't a way without rf or ir, unless someone comes out with some crazy adapter. As for computer control try RemoteDroid. It has come in handy for my lazy ass more than once. I use it to control hulu on my tv through the computer
