Anyone got WINTV?
Can anyone tell me (but keep it simple folks!) how the video streaming works? Would it be possible to have a PC with Wintv in the UK, then stream the picture so you could watch it in OZ/NZ?
Or can you only do that with, say, a camcorder?
Is this what you'd need to show video to people back home, and how easy is it for them to access it?

I have had WINTV on my PC for four years now, and it comes with all the software for video conferencing etc. Also with video input on the card, you can plug in a normal camcorder, not just a webcam. Also due to the normal aerial input, I can get all the free cable channels, video recorder and 'Sky' decoder on my PC. It's great for capturing pictures off the TV and posting them.
See, 'Powerpuff Girls' were on as I was typing:

Cheers Steve, but have you used the video bit? It's just that I read about video streaming & wasn't really sure what it was all about.
I understood that you could put video on to the internet with it. I then wondered if you could put the telly picture on it also, (then we could watch the Powerpuff Girls down under! )

We've been downloading stuff like films & TV (eg. series 2 of '24'!), I guess this is how people record them in the first place.
So, yes, I think I've answered my question!
Thanks for the number,
Gra....
