Also interesting to note, the tvchannelchanger software uses java script and it isn't written to follow standards and therefore does not work on mozilla firefox and may not run on other browsers.

I thought that Java is supposed to be platform-independent. It seems like we just need someone to write better control software.

However, is it possible to write a program to stream HDTV/EDTV directly without decoding and reencoding? The "decode and reencode" really uses up CPU on the server. BTW, I'm not planning to try to send the data stream to the Axim. I'm planning to send it over wired Ethernet (IIRC, HDTV is 20Mbps and Ethernet is 100Mbps) or 802.11g to regular x86 computers. I am planning to use an old Pentium MMX (or a Pentium 2) as a server (actually, using Windows Media Encoder will make a gateway, and what I just described is more like a router/proxy server).
FYI, my Axim X30h is just above a regular TV in terms of video quality, and I have a clue that an Axim X50v can easily attain EDTV quality.
