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 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.
I don't know if anyone can help me but I figured I could ask. I have a LG BluRay DVD Home theater System that has DLNA ability that is hooked to my HD tv that is not. My home theater reciever is not currently hooked up to my wireless network but I see that the receiver does have a ethernet port in the back. I am mainly trying to connect my galaxy s3 to my tv to stream video etc. Does anyone know if I direct connect the DLNA capable home theater receiver to my wireless router, which will connect it to my wireless network, will I then be able to send info from my galaxy s3 to my theater system which will show up on my TV? Sorry for the noob question but i got to start somewhere.....Any information will help based on my situation of not having a DLNA capable TV lol

If the blu ray player is dlna capable you should be able to find your galaxy s3.
On your SGS3 go to settings/more settings/nearby devices/enable file sharing.
I have connected my galaxy s3 with both Sony bdpbx59 and Samsung bdd5700 blu ray players but with choppy video playback.
I have researched online and many say this may be due to weak Wi-Fi on the blu Ray players but I'm not sure as i tested both with and without Ethernet connection and had the same issue.
I am going to swing by best buy tomorrow to test a few more out.
Let me know how yours works out.
~Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710) - Blazer ROM v1.6 - TWRP~
Here is my issue. I travel a decent amount for work and also watch movies/TV shows while at the gym. I basically want one central point that allows me to pick up where I left off weather it is my tablet/home TV or hotel TV. Currently I just use my tablet as my central point.
Downlod content to PC. Transfer to Tablet. Watch on Tablet. Conect via HDMI out to TV or use Chromecast.
A couple problems.
- I use MX Player on my tablet, but does not allow for chromecast. Is there a better media player that will allow for chromecast, but also be a very good media player and organizer?
- I have plex set up on my home laptop, but honestly have not used a whole lot as it does not serve me once I am out of the house. Does Plex Pass solve this issue? If so is this a better solution than storing everything tablet and using that as my central point?
Any input would be great as I am open to whatever works the best.
Hi,
Can anyone suggest a way (other than Wi-Fi) to stream video from my note 4 browser (chrome) to my tv whilst my phone is connected to LTE?
I stream sports on my phone via 4g as my home bb isn't quick enough and would like a way to display it on my tv.
If it's not possible wirelessly, can anyone suggest a cable that could do the job?
Any help would be great.
Sam
Chromecast should do the job nicely.
