TV wireless connection

icurrie · 12-16-2008, 01:16 PM

There was a post on here a while ago that I just can't find. It was about running your TV signal through a wireless router to your laptop. Does anyone do this? Or know how to do it?

Do you mean like Slingbox?

I've never heard or running a TV signal through a wireless router.

That is what is was, HD DVD and Blueray. Thanks. Could you do this with a HD digital box?

HD DVD and Blu-ray are discs that require a player, not a HD digital box.

I meant "players". I was just wondering if you can connect your "players" to your wireless network, can you connect your HD Digital Box to your network.
I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to this stuff. Most of the people here are pretty helpful. Just thought I would see if it was possible.

Yes it's very possible. I did this recently. Check out the link that sergeant smoky posted.

The question that comes to my mind is what exactly are you trying to do?

If you're looking to connect a blu ray player so that you can access BD-Live! features, Justin is correct and see that thread.

If what you're trying to do is connect a blu-ray player to your network so that you can stream content to other locations in your house, no, there is no solution that I know of although I could be wrong. Even if you can you would run into a bandwidth problem unless you were running on an "N" network.

As to HD digital boxes again the question is what are you trying to do? My Directtv is on my network through a wired connection so depending on your service and box type, yes it's possible to connect a HD TV box to the network.
