Did you guys try that other software that can accomplish the same thing at http://www.umediaserver.net/download.html If it works, you won't have to put up the the incompatibility with windows media ecoder.

to change sattelite channels you need an IR blaster, there are plenty out there. Also you can change channel in windows media player, or at least you can when using it with beyondtv (http://www.snapstream.com)

audio

Does your sound card have a mic or a line in jack? On my USB tv tuner card the audio is going into my dell laptop through a mic input. So I only get sound when I record a show. It seems to ignore the mic jack otherwise. So, so far I've only got video over wifi. If anyone has any suggestions around this I'd be interested.

Can you set it to use software audio?

SnapStream was TERRIBLE for me. I didn't care for it at all.


On another note, the TVchannelChanger software is very cool and works great on IE but doesn't work at all under firefox. Thats ok, I think I can figure it out.

On another note does anyone know how to turn on closed captions and have it encode those too? Somtimes I cant have sound and closed captions would be GREAT.

I'm not sure what the problem is yet. I generally use "What U Hear" when I use TimeTrax so I figure that should work for the encoder too
Gotta make time to mess w/it

I'd suggest opening your volume settings. go to file, and hit properties. Select Playback, should be there by default and then put a check mark in all the options. then go to record and do the same thing.
then you will have all the options open and available to you to adjust.

Closed Captioning

I was looking into that also, I tried opening the software for my tv card after media encoder was already on to see if I could manually turn it on. It wouldn't let me. Probably the only chance for it, is to email the creator of the channel changer and see if that option can be added. http://www.umediaserver.net/next.html
If enough people do it, maybe they will get around to adding it.

There's got to be a way to do this because all tvchannelchanger does is use directdraw to make changes to the hardware. Yea im sure the makers of tv channel changer can make it but there has to be other ways. 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.

Media Encoder for offline viewing too..

Media encoder is also good for re-encoding video files to run on your pocket pc for offline use. Just encode the video and then copy it to a large memory card (I use a 1GB CF card).

It also works well for grabbing video off of i.Link(firewire) enabled video cameras.

I also do video streaming from my TV Tuner card but normally I just watch that from my regular laptop. Thanks for the tip on the utility.

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.

Java and java script are not the same thing.

Insomniac,

I can't seem to get the TVChannelChanger program to actually work. It installed fine but I'm not sure if I'm missing something or just doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Golgo

Tange1,

I figured it out but thanks. It had something to do with the IIS install and firewall settings. All's good now.
