    Icon7 streaming hd channels to laptop

    has any member managed to stream the hd channels to there laptop

    i have a good spec laptop so i dont think that is the problem .

    i get the hd channel to come on via the web interace and vlc player.

    but they just cut off after 10 seconds or so

    i wondered if there is another method i could try or a plugin

    i am on oozoon full image via usb stick with meoboot on internal flash

    i have tryed everything to get the intergrated wirless to work also so i wonder if there is a problem with box

    or is that there are streaming related bugs with box which firmware will sought out eventually

    HD data rate is higher than the network speed. Even on a fixed line - its higher than the card rate, never-mind wifi speed.
    see here - this is channel 4 HD
