BeyondTV 4.1 Live Stream

Any insight on getting the Live TV link on BeyondTV 4.1 to work on the Axim X51v? I have the correct set up as it works fine on my laptop (or any other computer).
All my cards are on the BeyondTV approved list (2 hard and 1 soft encoder cards).
I can stream a recorded show fine (but the commercial skip info doesn't show up, but that is no big deal,... yet). Media Player starts and works fine.
When I click on the "Live TV" link on the BTV web interface (I get the snowscan screen but oh well, again not a big deal,... yet), I also get the channel changer bar, but no video.
I then manually launch Media Player and even Open URL to the same address and get:
Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play.
I have tried various formats, so does anyone have a setup that works? I am going to experiment with TCPMP.

Yeah, um I believe that because you are streaming wirelessly, the bitrate may be too high, and that may cause your problems. WiFi for the Axim is relatively slow.

I would say I have performed all the basic universal measures such as; soft reset, and lowering the bit rate. So perhaps I should try a CF wifi card?

Have you tried TCPMP? Mobile WMP cannot play MPEG2 (which is likely what your TV source is).

ok here

I've got mine to work by setting the software encoder to record at near vhs quality it outputs the file as a wmv file. Not sure what the issue is for you but I wanted to pass along that it works. BTW, I have a x50V with WM2003se, so maybe thats the difference?
