    Hi, After trying a few different programs I managed to get my Desktop pci DVB-T tuner to broadcast onto my laptop over my wireless router. The quality is perfect and it looks great I can even change the channel through my notebook, and best of all it was free!. I used 2 programs, on my desktop I used My theatre which has a one hour time limit or you can pay 40$ and register it. Then on my notebook I used VLC media player. I used a plugin for my theatre called A/V Broadcaster, By setting channels to favorites in my theatre I can change the channel by going to my ip address on the port my theatre runs on so I can change the channel really easily. On my notebook I just open vcl and go to file, open network and then type the port I set my theatre to broadcast on hey presto it all works!. This may be old news to you guys but I thought it was cool.

    Matt, I have done what you did to get your Desktop pci DVB-T tuner to broadcast onto your laptop over a wireless router and everything was OK except the possibility to change channel. Really I didn´t get how to do this part. Would you please explain me that step by step?

    This thread is almost 2 YEARS old. You will be better off starting a new one.
