Hi..I can't seem to watch live tv streaming for more than 5 seconds. Is this a limitation ? How can I get around this ? Thanks
Are you using orb? I can stream from orb until my battery dies. Its a beautiful thing.

You Need WI-FI At Home(ROUTER) NO EXPENSIVE DATA COSTS
This sounds cool! Too Bad it requires at least 250 kbs stream. Since I'm in the US and the universal does not support edge, that leaves only wfi. But I could still use it at home (garage) and at work or other wifi locations. I see it runs in windows media player, does it play in full screen mode or allow use of other players?
Try www.orb.com. tottaly excelent
i second that orb is outstanding
Yep Orb is great, not just for streaming to your XDA. The screen saver is pretty cool for streaming photos to your work PC for instance.
Although I've had no success so far getting my leadtek tv card working over it.
I have downloaded orb, but whatever I try to play from my pc (mp3 audio or video wmv,mpg) i get an error on the universal windows media player that "the player does not support the format you are trying to play"
What players on your universal do you guys use?
Thanks
Steve

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
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.
Hi,
I have been trying to watch videos streamed from my PC to my tablet but so far I have had little success...
I am using MX Player Pro to watch videos and ES Explorer to access my PC contents. I have no problems with opening any files including videos and streaming of small files (~300MB movies) works perfectly. The problem is - I would like to watch my Blu-Ray and DVD rips, which are 10GB +. Alas, in this case, it buffers 1 second of movie per 20 seconds in real life. It is unwatchable.
So, the question is - how I could I speed it up? The signal is full (I run the tests with PC and Nexus next to my router, Netgear), the PC has all other connections turned off (mail/browser, antivirus updates etc. all turned off) though it shows the connection speed of only ~80-120Mbps. I guess I am lacking ideas...
Thank you for help,
Theriel

Are your computer connected through wireless? If streaming BR movies you need a lot of bandwith which maybe you won't get if you have a bad wifi connection.

Have you tried VLC player? Don't know if it will help with your problem. I'll be getting my N10 tonight, so I'll be checking on that aspect of it for sure.
With the Marshmallow 6.0 update my Nexus Player has started to be able to play TV from the HDHomerun Prime(CableCard) but it will play for about 2-3 minutes and then pause. It does it in both the Live Channels and HD home run app. I have tried with the Nexus Player on WiFi and with an rj45 USB otg adapter. Anyone have any ideas?
I get exactly the same issue
Same here. I have a homerun hd connect and both nexus player and adt-1. Both connected over wifi. Stutters and stops after 3- 5 min. Anyone have luck with the nvidia shield? I don't want to invest more money into Android TV if this problem is going to exist on a more expensive player too. My guess is its due to the uncompressed stream size. Not sure if its the WiFi or processor. Any way to compress and retain near hd quality with the HD home run settings?
Im in your same boat. I use the hdhomerun connect setup over wifi to my nexus player. Live channels and hdhomerun view both scramble and stutter every couple of minutes for a few seconds. Every so often after a while it will freeze.
I have the plus/extend, I am not sure how different the connect is. However this is how I stopped my stuttering:
Open HDhomerun View
Press play/pause 13 times to enter setting page
Check Mpeg2 Hardware Decoder
Check H.264/AVC Hardware Decoder
Set Transcoded to H.264/AVC (HDTC models) to disabled
